NCAA Eligibility

For high school seniors aspiring to compete in college sports, understanding NCAA eligibility is crucial. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) sets specific academic and athletic standards that must be met to play at the Division I or Division II level. To be eligible, students must complete a certain number of core courses during high school, maintain a minimum GPA, and achieve a required SAT or ACT score. In addition to academic qualifications, athletes must demonstrate their athletic abilities through performance in high school sports. They must also register with the NCAA Eligibility Center, which evaluates their academic transcripts and test scores to determine eligibility. Meeting these requirements allows seniors to pursue scholarships and opportunities to compete in collegiate athletics while continuing their education.
