• NCAA Eligibility Info 

    If you think there is a chance that you may participate in athletics after high school, you will want to make sure that you are eligible to play.  There are ever-changing rules about eligibility and it is important to stay on top of the requirements.   It is the student-athlete's responsibility to make sure they are eligible for the next level of competition.   However, you have quite a few resources that you can use to help you along the way.   Your parent/guardian, coach, counselor, and the school that is recruiting you can all be of some assistance.
