What is the NCAANCAA?
National Collegiate Athletic Association
An organization through which many of the nation’s colleges/ universities speak and act on athletic matters at the national level
It is a non-profit, voluntary association of more than 1200 schools, conferences, organizations and individuals dedicated to the sound administration of intercollegiate athletics
NCAA Eligibility Center NCAA Eligibility Center ResponsibilitiesResponsibilities
The NCAA Eligibility Center is responsible for determining the eligibility of every college bound student athlete in NCAA
Divisions I and II using the following two areas:
Academic Certification
Does the college bound student athlete meet the legislated minimum academic requirements?
Amateurism Certification
Has the college bound student athlete jeopardized his or her amateur status?
Amateurism CertificationAmateurism Certification
It’s important to the NCAA that students are “student athletes” above all else and therefore require that applicants complete an amateurism certification as a part of the eligibility process.
In general, amateurism requirements do not allow:
Contracts with professional teams Salary for participating in athletics Prize money above actual and
necessary expenses Play with professionals Tryouts, practice or competition
with a professional team Benefits from an agent or
prospective agent Agreement to be represented by
an agent Delayed initial full-time collegiate
enrollment to participate in organized sports competition

Changes for Class of 2016 and Changes for Class of 2016 and beyondbeyond Minimum core course GPA of 2.300 required; Slight change in GPA/test score index (sliding scale);
and Ten core courses required before the beginning of
senior yearThree possible outcomes:1. Qualifier= competition, athletics aid (scholarship),
and practice the first year. 2. Academic Redshirt = athletics aid the first year,
practice in first regular academic term (semester or quarter).
3. Nonqualifier = no athletics aid, practice or competition the first year
Changes for Class of 2016 and Changes for Class of 2016 and beyondbeyond
To be a full qualifier:
Must complete 10 core courses before seventh semester of high school (e.g., senior year).
Of the 10 core courses completed, seven must be in the area of English, math, or science.
These 10 core courses become “locked in” for the purpose of GPA calculation.
A repeat of any of the “locked in” courses will not be used if taken after the seventh semester begins
New sliding scale for GPA & test scores
Changes for Class of 2016 and Changes for Class of 2016 and beyondbeyond
** If you fail to meet the required 10 core courses prior to the start of your seventh semester (seven of which must be in English, math, or natural or physical science), you will be allowed to retake core courses in your seventh or eighth semester, which will be used in your academic certification for the purpose of meeting the academic redshirt requirements.
Core classes are the same Sliding scale changes (see eligibility website) Min Core GPA 2.00-2.99** If you meet these requirements, you can receive an athletics
scholarship during your first year at an NCAA Division I college or university.
After the first term is complete, you must successfully complete nine semester hours or eight quarter hours in each applicable term at your college or university to continue to practice for the remainder of the year
DivisionDivision III III Unlike Divisions I and II, there
is no uniform set of eligibility requirements for Division III schools.
Eligibility for admission, financial aid, practice and competition is determined by the college or university.

Promoting your athletic Promoting your athletic talentstalents
Colleges do not typically knock on your door and offer scholarship money… you must increase your visibility to be recognized by college coaches.
Students can boost their visibility by visiting campuses, meeting coaches and making phone calls.
The first 2 years of HS are about development -- developing your sports skills as well as working on your leadership abilities. You will be a more valuable recruit if you have built a reputation for teamwork, sportsmanship and maturity. Establishing that reputation is a long process and it requires consistency. College coaches are looking for motivated athletes who contribute to team unity, have valued athletic talents and solid academic performance in school.
The athlete’s season for recruiting is just a few months so being on a coaches radar early is important to make the best use of your time.
Start early by evaluating college sports programs and thinking about the type of team philosophy or environment where you’d fit in best.
