Student Athletes
- Students, if you are planning to play sports in college either with the NCAA or NAIA one of the steps to ensure eligibility is to register as a student athlete. Double check colleges that you're interested in to see which eligibility center they are affiliated with. There are other eligibility centers too, but these are two common places to start.
NCAA - Registering as an athlete: https://web3.ncaa.org/ecwr3/
NAIA for information and to register: http://www.playnaia.org/eligibility-center
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
