THe college bound athlete
Plan ahead if you want to be a college athlete. It’s not too early to start figuring out what you need to do to become eligible to play sports in college. The NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA have processes that you need follow to ensure your eligibility.
If you are a high school athlete who wants to play college-level sports, keep two priorities in mind: COLLEGE FIRST, SPORTS SECOND.
Avoid situations that might leave you without a degree or even a team to play on. Your eligibility is your responsibility!
