I am interested in playing soccer in a Division I or II program. Where can I obtain information regarding specific soccer programs including information regarding scholarships granted, coaches and contact information?
Two books you might want to investigate are Peterson’s Sports Scholarships and College Athletic Programs found in your local bookstore; and the National Directory of College Athletics available by calling (216) 835-1172. The men’s copy is $27.95 and women’s copy is $19.95 plus $2.50 shipping. Perhaps a better approach would be to find colleges which offer the academic program of interest to you first and then investigate their sports programs. I think this makes a lot of sense for any student who won’t be making a living after college from their college sport (and that’s most college athletes). The admissions office at any school should be able to help you navigate the athletics prospects at that school. I’ll watch for you on the sports pages.
My son is potentially a scholarship athlete. Where can I get information on the NCAA regualtions concerning high school athletes?
Contact the NCAA at (913) 339-1906.
I am a freshman at a small school in Texas and am an involved student, as well as being at the top of 90 in my class. I was recognized nationally for my 710 in math in the Duke TIP. However, I sincerely love playing basketball, and start for my J. V. I don’t feel that I would be prepared to play Division I basketball by my senior year. I have heard of players starting out at a junior college and transferring to a university. How do you feel about this and my situation?
