NCAA Clearing House
Players interested in
attending an NCAA member college or university
as a student-athlete should register at the NCAA
Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse at the start
of their junior year. The NCAA developed this
site as an easy way for their members to
evaluate prospective student-athletes at one
central location. The site is very informative
and provides information for both the
student-athlete and their parents. You can
access the site at:
