Notes and Resources

Register with the NCAA Clearinghouse/eligibility center

Definition: “The NCAA Eligibility Center certifies whether prospective college athletes are eligible to play sports at NCAA Division I or II institutions. It does this by reviewing the student-athlete's academic record, SAT or ACT scores, and amateur status to ensure conformity with NCAA rules.”

“The registration fee is $65 for domestic college-bound student-athletes and $95 for international college-bound student-athletes. There is only one fee to register for the NCAA Eligibility Center, which covers both the academic and amateurism certifications.”

Building a College List

Get a binder, notebook, and legal pad specifically for the recruiting process. Make sure you're not using it for anything else like schoolwork or just to stuff random papers in there. 

Then it's time to highlight colleges you’re interested in (50-100 schools). If you purchased the "Secret Sauce Bundle," there's a spreadsheet you can download and use.. I highly recommend it! (If you don't have the bundle, get it for $7 by clicking here)

You need to understand that this will take quite a bit of time! It's a time consuming process, but it needs to be done. I like to compare it with pre-season practice -- it's not a lot of fun, but how much success would you have if you just stepped into the first game without any practice? Exactly. You need to trust the process!
