Things to do to become potential College Students/Athletes
- Maintain 2.8 or better G.P.A in high school in your core classes. Math, Social Studies, English, Science.
- At the end of each semester after your first semester of High school, check your semester grades and get a print out from the counseling office of NCAA eligibility and HS transcript.
- Any core grades that are failed in the first two years of High school have to be made up before the seventh semester or beginning of 12 grade year. This would mean the summer before your senior year or earlier.
- Start filling out recruiting questionnaires at the end of your Freshman year. Go to the athletics website of the school you want to attend, and look for the recruiting questionnaire under that sport. Make sure that you go to at least one sports camp of the schools you want to attend so that you can meet coaches and get on their radar.
- Understand the “sliding scale” rule for NCAA eligibility.
- Be aware that even though an athlete has met the athletic requirements of the NCAA, that he or she has to meet the academic requirements of the college or university. The G.P.A and TEST SCORE doesn’t mean anything on the sliding scale if the student cant get accepted by the school.
- At the end of each semester, go to your counseling office and get your updates on grades and NCAA eligibility. Check for revisions and changes in the NCAA sliding scale rule.
- Take the SAT and ACT before your Junior year. Take the tests your sophomore year. It’s worth the money. Take as many of the paid prep courses. It’s worth the money. The more quality info that you can put on a college application or on a questionnaire, the more attractive you look to schools.
- Even if you haven’t heard from any colleges by the end of your by the end of your junior year, apply to the schools your want to go to, and find out who the recruiting coordinator is for that sport and email them your highlight films to get their interest in you.
- Be prepared for a long ride full of a lot of Highs and Lows. In the end you are a student first, so make the grades and it will be easier to play the sport.
