Since you were 5 years old, your dad's dream, I mean, your dream was to become a professional baseball player. After little league all-stars, private pitching and hitting lessons, and a dedicated trophy room, you have proven yourself worthy of a prime spot on the high school team. BUT this is just the beginning. Next step is playing ball on a Division 1 College Team. Sure, you made friends with the scouts at games, worked extra hard at practice AND got featured in the local paper for your Perfect Game, but are you actually eligible to play in the NCAA?? Here are some resources to make sure you hit all the bases. :)
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a voluntary organization that governs the nation's college and university athletics programs. The NCAA is committed to the best interests, education and athletics participation of all student-athletes, and it is dedicated to insuring that athletic competition is safe and fair. The NCAA also makes sure that student-athletes have the grades to be successful not only on the field, but also in the college classroom. (http://www.ncaa.org)
| THE ELIGIBILITY CENTER The NCAA has created an impressive website that outlines all the information and resources needed in order to secure eligibility. You can even click on a virtual "student mentor" to help walk you through the process. You will need to register on the site if you plan to enroll in a Division I or II college or university. Click HERE to go directly to that website.
