WHEN

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

SHOULD WE GO ON SUMMER VACATION?

• Ideally, the week of July 4th is the best time for a Summer Vacation.

WHAT IF

WE’VE ALREADY PLANNED ANOTHER TRIP?

• Communicate with the coaching staff (in advance) any activities that would keep your player from being at team activities.

WHEN

SHOULD I SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS?

• Not during team activities or workouts. As much as is possible, plan any necessary appointments during down time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT ARE ACCLIMATION DAYS?

• The GHSA mandates that all players participate in a five-day acclimation period at the start of each season. Missing these days (July 25-31) will put your player behind schedule.

WHAT AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING?

• Everything your player needs will be provided for them, with the exception of a pair of WHITE Nike cleats.

WHAT ABOUT FALL BREAK?

• Our schedule will look different that week, please be on the lookout for additional communication to this end throughout the season.

Recruiting Information

Overview

• In order to be recruited by colleges for athletics, students must meet certain academic requirements in certain milestones of their high school years.

• Students/parents can track academic progress and set plans for courses with the help of our guidance department and their assigned guidance counselor. Unofficial/Official Transcripts can also be made available.

• Three Key Questions:

• What does the student need to do?

• What do I need to do?

• How do the coaches help?

HS Student Requirements

• Graduate high school

• Earn a core course GPA pf 2.5 or higher

• Complete 16 core courses

• 4 years of English

• 3 years of math (Algebra 1 or higher)

NEW RECRUITING WEBSITE

What Can I Do?

• There are two steps that need to be done by the parent/guardian of a prospective student-athlete:

• Sign student up with the NCAA Clearinghouse/NCAA Eligibility Center

• Google “NCAA Eligibility Center” or go to https://web3.ncaa.org/ ecwr3/

• Click “Register”; begin following prompts

• Sign student up for the SAT/ACT

• SAT: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat

• ACT: https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-andservices/the-act/scores/sending-your-scores.html

• Can also google “SAT/ACT Registration”

Testing

• Core Course Requirement – Each high school has a list of approved NCAA Core Courses with a requirement to pass 16.

• Core Course GPA – The NCAA does not use your entire high school transcript for determining your GPA, they are only concerned with core courses.

• NCAA Sliding Scale – A combination of your GPA and SAT/ACT test scores is used to determine your eligibility.

• Each is evaluated for recruitment and acceptance into the college.

• National Average:

• SAT: 1070

• ACT: 21 (*Not Sum Score)

• 2.5 GPA

• SAT: Old = 820; New = 900

• ACT: 68 Sum Score

• 3.0 GPA

• SAT: Old = 620; New = 720

• ACT: 52 Sum Score

• 3.5 GPA

• SAT: Old = 420; New =430

• ACT: 39 Sum Score

• Sum Score: calculated by adding together your English, Math, Reading and Science scores. You can take the ACT a total of 12 times during high school, and your top scores in each subject will be used to create your highest ACT score.
