NCAA IS FOR STUDENT ATHLETES

About the NCAA Founded more than one hundred years ago as a way to protect

student-athletes, the NCAA continues to implement that principle with increased emphasis on both athletics and academic excellence.

The NCAA is made up of three membership classifications that are known as Divisions I, II and III. Each division creates its own rules governing personnel, amateurism, recruiting, eligibility, benefits, financial aid, and playing and practice seasons – consistent with the overall governing principles of the Association. Every program must affiliate its core program with one of the three divisions.

Athletes must apply through this site
