College soccer: begin with the right official pathway

NCAA Division I initial eligibility has academic and certification requirements. Use the official Eligibility Center information and work with the school counselor and relevant college compliance staff.

A coach’s interest, an event invitation or a highlight video is not by itself an eligibility determination.

What to do next

• Confirm the governing body and division you are asking about.
• Use the current official requirements for your situation.
