College Athletics
- Some student-athletes have a goal to participate in athletics at a collegiate level. To this end, we offer several important tips.
- Communication with the coach is imperative. Student-athletes who have a strong desire to compete at the collegiate level should talk with their coach to discuss this important decision.
- Your college choices should be based on academic fit. Athletic opportunities are important, yet secondary to academic fit and opportunities.
- Develop a ‘reality’ list of potential college choices.
- The student-athlete should create a resume based on both high school academic and athletic accomplishments. The resume should be reviewed with their coach and college counselor.
- The student-athlete should create a letter of interest to be sent, along with the resume, to the coaches at the respective colleges. Also have your coach and counselor review it before mailing it.
- Division I, II & III have different rules for potential college athletes. For additional information and to register with the NCAA Clearinghouse go to the NCAA home page at www.ncaa.org
