It's important to know that in order to be eligible at a Division I or a Division II NCAA school, you have to register with the NCAA eligibility center. We suggest that you register with the eligibility center no later than the completion of your junior year. If you have not registered with the eligibly center, you will not be able to receive a scholarship from a Division I or Division II school and you will not be able to play during your first year because you will not have been determined to be eligible to play at that school. Additionally, you will not be able to take official visits to a Division I or Division II school if you have not registered with the eligibility center. You have to send your test scores to the eligibility center independently than your high school transcript; which means that when you take the test, you have to request that your test scores be sent to the eligibility center. Your SportsWorx representative can help you with this process.

The consequences of not meeting with these eligibility requirements or not registering with the eligibility center are dire. Again, you won't be eligible to play and you'll lose a year of eligibility in college. At SportsWorx, we'll make sure those things won't happen. Not only that but we can help you target those schools that best fit your academic level as well as your career goals. Athletically, it's very important that you be realistic with your assessment. Not everyone can compete at the NCAA Division I athletic competition level. But if that is in fact your goal, then it's very important that you constantly strive to improve. You need to get bigger and faster and stronger. You need to work with a speed and strength trainer. You need to seek opportunities to play against the best competition. One of the things that we hear the most often from college coaches is how important your attitude is, and how important it is that you put your team's performance above your own personal level of achievement. There is nothing that will turn a coach off more quickly than a player that is all down and mopey and acting like an immature preschooler when his performance is bad, but the team is doing well. It's important that you keep a positive attitude when the team is on and off the court. Believe me, these coaches are going to be looking at you not only when you are playing, but in your school and your community.

At SportsWorx our advisors can help you identify your goals for athletic improvement, put you with people who can best help you achieve those goals, and again work with you for a realistic assessment of those schools whose athletic programs best fit your athletic ability.
