-
I am the one contacting
coaches, is that ok with
them?
-
Not only is it OK, but
they want you to do it.
Put yourself in the
coach's position. Every
year a lot of his
athletes graduate. Every
year he has to recruit a
new group of athletes.
He has to be constantly
recruiting. He's out
there coaching, and
doesn't have the time or
budget to discover every
promising athlete on his
own. Some blue-chip
athletes come to his
attention, but there
aren't enough of them to
fill his roster AND
there's competition for
them. So coaches want to
hear from interested
prospects. When you
contact them, you're
making their job easier.
-
What requirements do I need
to be able to get a
scholarship at a Division I
or Division II school?
-
You need to complete the
following:
-
Graduate from high
school;
-
Complete a minimum
of 14* core
courses;
-
Present a minimum
grade-point average
(GPA) in those 14*
core courses; and
-
Present a qualifying
test score on either
the ACT or SAT test.
In Division I, the minimum number of core courses is 16 for
students who enter a Division I
school August 1, 2007, and
after.
-
How do I know if the courses
I'm taking are core courses?
-
You need to look at your
high school's list of
NCAA-approved core
courses. Go to
www.ncaaclearinghouse.net
and verify them. If a
core course you took is
not on the list, it
won't be used in your
eligibility
determination. Courses
that appear on your
transcript must exactly
match what is on the
list.
-
How is the NCAA core
grade-point average
different from a student's
overall grade-point average?
-
The NCAA core-course
grade-point average is
calculated using only
NCAA-approved core
courses in the required
14 core units.
High-school grade-point
averages generally
include the grades from
most or all courses
attempted in grades nine
through 12.
-
When should a student
register with the NCAA
Clearinghouse?
-
Students should register
with the clearinghouse
after the completion of
their junior year in
high school. Also they
need to send a
transcript, which
includes six semesters
of grades, to the
clearinghouse from
the high school.
Students should have
their SAT or ACT test
scores forwarded
directly to the
clearinghouse whenever
they take the exam.
