College Athletics (NCAA)

Here are some recommendations from CollegeBoard for student-athletes who want to play college sports: 

  • Determine what level of athletic competition/play you hope to pursue (NCAA Division I, II, III or other levels).
  • See about participating in summer sports camp at your college of interest
  • Register with the NCAA Eligibility Center (see document below). Student athletes pursuing NCAA Division I, or II schools must register; others do not.
  • Develop an athletic resume that includes your basic student demographic information, sports stats since 9th grade and academic record/standing.
  • Send letters of interest during Sophomore and Junior years to colleges/universities.
  • Send coaches your athletic resume, stats summary, and a video showcasing your skills in actual competition.
  • Keep track of all contact you've had with college coaches in a written log
  • If applicable, apply to college/university with special application coded by the college's athletic department to notify the admission office that their athletic department is interested in you.
  • Remember that athletics are only part of the college choice - make sure you still find the college to be a good fit if something happens and you can't play or decide not to play.
  • Also, remember that athletic eligibility does not guarantee you're going to be admitted.
