Build a college soccer plan from fit—not fear.
Protect eligibility early
- Tell the high-school counselor that college athletics is a goal and review approved coursework.
- Use the official eligibility process for the governing body of each target school; NCAA, NAIA, and two-year colleges do not use one universal system.
- Keep transcripts, education history, and sports-participation details accurate and current.
- Recheck official rules before acting; communication, certification, transfer, and signing rules change.
