Are you a Blue Devil athlete dreaming of playing your sport at the NCAA level? Invest in your future and spend an hour on Wednesday, May 8 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. understanding the requirements and how to prepare for NCAA certification.

Join NCAA Eligibility Center staff, who will walk you through what you need to do to compete at the NCAA Division I, II or III level. Staff will be answering questions live during the presentation, so come prepared to learn how to take your game to the next level.

“The advantages of competing in college sports are both immediate and lifelong,” according to the NCAA. “Participating in college sports provides opportunities to learn, compete and succeed. Student-athletes receive top-notch academic support, quality medical care and regular access to outstanding coaching, facilities and equipment. Student-athletes as a group graduate at higher rates than their peers in the general student body and feel better prepared for life after college.”

College-bound student-athletes preparing to enroll in a Division I or II school need to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center to ensure they have met amateurism standards and are academically prepared for college coursework. International college-bound student-athletes planning to enroll at a Division III school must also receive an amateurism-only certification from the Eligibility Center.
