ATHLETIC COLLEGE COUNSELING & RECRUITMENT

Many student-athletes go on to pursue their athletic careers beyond Ursuline Academy. The successful transition to college-level academics and athletics requires a coordinated and supported effort between the student, the family, and the school. For Upper School students considering competing at the college level, the first step is to consult the “Guide for the College-Bound Athlete” on the NCAA Clearinghouse Website.

Your counselor is available to help you register with the NCAA Clearinghouse, which is the organization that ensures all college-bound student athletes have met the necessary academic requirements to participate in athletics at the college level. The NCAA Clearinghouse website is a fantastic resource for better understanding the eligibility requirements, athletic recruiting rules and regulations, and what competing at the Division I, II, or III level entails. Ursuline Academy’s rigorous curriculum helps ensure our students meet eligibility requirements. Your counselor is also here to talk with you about the role athletics will play in your college search.

The Ursuline Academy Athletic Department also informs our student-athletes regarding NCAA eligibility, athletic recruiting, and Division I, II, and III athletic programs. Students may also contact their coaches for further information about specific sports programs, conferences, and levels of competition.
