NCAA REQUIREMENTS

Playing at the college level

Crown Athletics is proud to provide a platform for our athletes to excel in their chosen sport and have the opportunity to achieve to the next level. We have former Crown athletes who have moved on to play college sports in baseball, cheerleading, football, basketball and volleyball.  In order to help you with that process, we have setup this page to give you guidelines and direct you to important information. Most colleges will require that you have taken the SAT/ACT and that you meet certain eligibility requirements. We HIGHLY recommend that if you are considering the possibility of playing any sport in college that you begin researching the requirements before your Junior year.  This will better prepare you for the steps and documentation required by the NCAA and the school. When in doubt or have questions about what to do feel free to contact Ben Lee with Crown Athletics at ben@crown-athletics.org and/or call your college advisor.
 
Home school students are required to follow the same process as public school and private school students. The NCAA has provided us with a document that provides you with some of the guidelines and requirements. You may review this PDF document by Clicking Here.
