YOU MUST REGISTER WITH THE NCAA CLEARING HOUSE - COLLEGE SPORTS RECRUITING

The National Collegiate Athletic Association {NCAA} is the governing body of just about all College Sport. Your first step towards an Athletic Scholarship is registering with the NCAA Clearinghouse.

Student-Athletes who want to compete at Collegiate level must lodge a form with the NCAA clearinghouse. This form can be obtained from your school's counseling office. You must register and you must qualify, if you don't you will not be eligible to play or practice during your college freshman year. International students can Email me for free advice on how to register. Registration with the NCAA clearinghouse is a one-time fee of $50 US. For international students the fee is $75. US.

Athletes basically have 5 "College years" to complete 4 years of athletic eligibility Students who fail to meet minimum academic requirements or dont register with the NCAA clearinghouse will almost certainly lose one of those years of eligibility.

The NCAA clearinghouse will verify your eligibility.

Students must graduate from High School and have a grade point average {GPA} of 2.00 in a core curriculum of thirteen academic subjects.

You must also achieve a minimum score on your ACT and SAT This is between 37 and 86 on the ACT. and between 820 and 1010 on the SAT.

Remember that the higher your GPA, the lower ACT or SAT. score is needed; this works both ways of course, the lower your GPA then the higher ACT or SAT. score must be.
