I WANT TO COMPETE AT A COLLEGE LEVEL! WHERE DO I START?

College 101 Night - NCAA & NAIA Eligibility

Recruiting Realities

The recruiting process started yesterday! Understand the opportunities: Did you know? Fully funded D1 athletics take up less than 1% of all collegiate athletic opportunities. 83% of all collegiate opportunities are not in the Division 1 level?

This is how it all breaks down:

The many choices and that

• verwhelming Feeling!

First things first! 1. Recognizing your commitment level and work ethic in the classroom and in your sport. 2. Being realistic about your current level of competing. Believe it or not, the information above can determine your competition level really quick and give you a foundation on where to start. There are many opportunities to play collegiate sports, but it starts early on researching schools for their academics and athletics. It’s definately challenging if you wait until senior year to inform your coaches and school counselor that you would like to play at the college level. You could have opportunities to play in Junior College, NAIA, Division III, Division II, and Division I

• levels. Make sure to do your part and research the schools.

NCAA Division I and Division II Athletics

• You need to be certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center to compete at an NCAA Division I or II
• school. Create a Certification Account and we'll guide you through the process.

You'll get an NCAA ID, and we will send you important reminders as you complete high school. Division III schools provide an integrated environment focusing on academic success while

• ffering a competitive athletics environment.

While Division III schools do not offer athletics scholarships, 75 percent of Division III student- athletes receive some form of merit- or need-based financial aid. If you are planning to attend a Division III school, you do not need to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Division III schools set their own admissions standards.

NAIA Athletics

have their eligibility determined before they can play.

Key takeaways and reminders

• It’s important for parents and students to email or set up a meeting with your school counselor to go
• ver academic and athletic goals. This can happen as early as freshman year.
• Remember that grades are extremely important especially in those core classes as well as SAT/ACT

test scores.

• There are many recruiting companies out there, but make sure to do your research. You can also save

your money and do the leg work yourself. It does require work from both student athletes and parents, but can be done without spending a fortune.

• Make sure to keep an open line of communication with the coaches and school counselor so that

everyone can support your goals and game plan.

• Keep in mind that receiving an Athletic Scholarship is no easy task. It requires a lot of individual

work outside of practice, being realistic of your level of competition, staying on top of your grades, and researching schools you may want to attend.

CONCLUSION

▶ Studies have shown that Students who participate in

extracurricular activities do better academically than students who don’t.

▶ I encourage all students to participate in multiple clubs or sports.
