Do you dream of playing a sport in college? 
Do you know when and how to start making college coaches aware of your amazing talent? 
ladies basketballIf you are an athlete who is eager to continue competing in college at any level, scholarship or non-scholarship, you need to be aware of the rules that govern the manner in which you may be recruited and considered for admission.  The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) are the two associations of which most intercollegiate athletic programs are members.  Visit their sites to make sure you are aware of the rules before you begin the recruitment process.
 
For individualized guidance through this process, make an appointment with one of our college counselors.
