Senior Year

Maintaining Grades, Submitting Applications and Finalizing Acceptance

In FALL, Meet with your counselor to review your transcript and to assure compliance with NCAA requirements. Apply for Student-Athlete status with NCAA Clearinghouse. 1-877-262-1492.

Retake SATs if necessary (MAKE SURE you do not have scheduling conflicts!)

After July 1 you can receive a weekly phone call. After Senior year begins, you can start to take those 5 official visits you are allowed for Division I schools. You will tour the campus, meet the team see a game, and stay overnight. Get to know the school and coach and the team’s style of play. Remember, the coach may not be employed at any particular institution for all your time at the school. It is important that you settle on a school that “fits” your academic, athletic and personal needs. The coach may be gone tomorrow!

Submit applications for the schools of your choice. Keep grades up throughout the senior year. Some colleges withdraw enrollment invitation and/or scholarship if student’s academic levels decline in senior year. No time for “senioritis.”

If you are accepted, finalize paperwork and Letters of Intent (if applicable) following NCAA regulations. For 2005, the Letter of Intent is sent to the player the first week of February.
