Interested in Playing Division 1 or 2 Sports?
If any athletes (especially current juniors and seniors) are looking at playing at the next level, especially Div. 1 or Div. 2, please encourage them to register for the NCAA eligibility center, using the link below.
Link to NCAA Eligibility Center:
https://web3.ncaa.org/ecwr3/register/CERTIFICATION?accountSubType=FULL
The NCAA recommends that students create accounts at least by their junior year, so an appointed counselor can upload their transcript at the end of their junior and senior year. Currently, they do this automatically every summer for all juniors and seniors that are registered with the clearinghouse.
The cost to register with the clearinghouse is currently $100, but fee waivers are available to students that qualify (students can come and see Josh Carnelley, school counselor, with any questions regarding this.
One important message that all these students need to know when looking to play collegiate sports:
1. They must graduate high school
2. They must meet NCAA requirements (core classes + GPA)
3. They must be admitted to the college (just because the meet the NCAA requirements, it does not mean that the college will admit them)
Here are a few resources for you and your student athletes when it comes to Div. 1 and 2 requirements and also the college guide for student athletes:
