Not Getting Recruited?

For some high school senior athletes, spring is a time to enjoy the
last weeks of school before continuing their athletic career in
college. For many others who have been hoping to land one of those
coveted college scholarships, spring is a time to panic. The phone
calls from college coaches have stopped. Or worse, maybe they never
started. Suddenly, the end of an athletic career is staring you in
the face.
So, what's a senior athlete to do? Is all hope lost?

Spring Break.
Use it to Visit
College Campuses
|
|
With Spring Break around the corner,
this is a terrific time of year to maximize upcoming vacation trips with
a visit to a close by college campus. Whether you intend to attend
the university where you'll be traveling or not, use a campus visit to
help determine what's important to you and what is not.
Keep in mind that over 80% of all
collegiate playing opportunities can be found outside the Division I
level, and keep in mind that college teams often carry considerably
larger rosters than high school teams. Consequently many very
talented players fail to get the playing the time they want and later
choose to drop their sport after a year or two.
So when you evaluate a college, look
further than just their sports program. Find a school where you'll
be comfortable both with and without sports. Use the following
guidelines to help plan your college visits ...

The NCAA Eligibility Center
(formerly
the NCAA Clearinghouse) ...
|
|
|
For
those with older brothers and/or sisters who may remember the formerly
known NCAA Clearinghouse, be aware that in 2007, it changed names
and is now known as the NCAA Eligibility Center. Along with the
name change came some important changes in practice.
If you are considering attending an NCAA Division I or II school
beginning with the 2010/11 school year, the NCAA also introduced
new legislation requiring incoming students to provide ACT and SAT
scores directly to the Eligibility Center from the testing agency (it
used to be that
high schools could send the test scores on official high school
transcripts).
If
you have any questions, contact either College GAMEplan, your High School College Counselor, or contact the
Eligibility Center directly. For additional information, click on
the following link at
https://web1.ncaa.org/eligibilitycenter/student/index_student.html, or visit the NCAA's web site at www.ncaa.org.
You must comply with this new legislation. There are no
exceptions.

Your College
GAMEplan for
March
|
|
|
Things you need to know and be doing in
March..
By
now, most seniors will either have made their college commitments, or
will have narrowed their choices down to the last few colleges. If you
are a senior and still waiting for final financial aid offers, including
scholarship, grants, loans, etc., most colleges will be sending their
offer letters over the next several weeks. Be sure to stay up to date
with college deadlines that include specific dates for financial aid
applications, scholarships applications, housing applications,
acceptance deadlines and deposits, etc. If you are applying for any
kind of financial aid, be sure to submit your FAFSA before the college's
financial aid deadline. They vary by school and state so pay close attention
to all of them.
While the recruiting process is wrapping up for most seniors, it is
really beginning to heat up for juniors.
