  1. College Athletics NCAA: Academic Eligibility Focus

  2. Playing Sports in College Varsity Sports: College representative, compete against other college teams, programs receive some type of funding *Governed by sports associations: National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), among others Club & Intramural Sports: Alternative participation option, compete against other club and intramural teams, typically no outside funding source Clubs: Student run, may have travel, regional and national championships Intramural: Teams from the same school play each other

  3. NCAA: National Collegiate Athletic Association The NCAA is the largest and most well known of the college sports associations. When you watch college sports on TV, you’re usually watching NCAA athletes. The NCAA oversees three levels of play: Division Iis the biggest and most competitive NCAA division. Colleges that compete in Division I must offer scholarships (can be full) to their recruited student-athletes. Division IIathletic programs are smaller and less competitive than those in Division I. Most student-athletes don’t get full-ride scholarships, but many do get some financial aid for playing. Division III programs are the least competitive. Division III colleges do not offer sports-related financial aid. Still, these schools recruit athletes, and being one can help you get into a college that wants you in its program.

  4. NCAA Sports IF you do not see the sport that you play on this list, your sport may be governed by NAIA or possibly another association.
