1st Place Volleyball knows that, all too often, student-athletes and their families overlook one of the most critical aspects of the recruiting process – NCAA initial eligibility academic standards.
In October, the NCAA approved even stricter standards for freshman initial eligibility, making the tracking process even more important for every high school student-athlete. NCAA eligibility requirements are based on NCAA approved core courses, which make up only a portion of your school’s class offerings. Therefore, the GPA on your report card is NOT the same as your core course GPA, and it is not uncommon for your core course GPA to be a full point lower. Without full knowledge of this difference, and the other NCAA academic requirements, you could greatly jeopardize your chance to receive a scholarship or a significant financial aid package.
For that reason, 1st Place Volleyball strongly recommends that you consider becoming a member of the CoreCourseGPA.com program. It’s easy to use, cost effective, and will ensure that you take care of the other half of the recruiting process – your academics.
Even if you meet minimum NCAA standards to play at a DI or DII school, it doesn’t mean your grades are good enough to get into the college of your choice. CoreCourseGPA.com helps you set academic goals and ensure that you are on pace to meet the requirements of the schools you most desire to attend. That translates to better academic performance. Three out of four CoreCourseGPA.com members report the program has helped them focus more on their grades, and one out three have increased their GPA since becoming a member.
