NCAA

If you are giving consideration to participating in Division I or Division II athletics at the collegiate level then it is important that you visit the NCAA Eligibility Center and register with the NCAA Clearinghouse http://eligibilitycenter.org/   The NCAA Guide for College Bound Athletes is also a great resource and includes both Division I and II academic initial-eligibility standard worksheets which help insure that you are meeting the academic requirements set forth by the NCAA
