CLUB DEPORTIVO LA ESPERANZA — NCAA & COLLEGE ELIGIBILITY GUIDE

STEP 1 — REGISTER (10th grade)
Create an account at eligibilitycenter.org. Certification account for
NCAA Division I/II; Profile page for Division III and NAIA exploration.

STEP 2 — CORE COURSES (16 required)
4 years English · 3 years Math (Algebra I or higher) · 2 years natural or
physical science (1 with a lab) · 1 extra year of English, math, or science ·
2 years social science · 4 years additional core courses.
Ask your counselor for your school's NCAA-approved course list.

STEP 3 — GPA
Division I: 2.3 core-course GPA minimum.
Division II: 2.2 core-course GPA minimum.
NAIA and junior colleges have their own, often more flexible, standards —
the club can walk families through those options.

STEP 4 — TRANSCRIPTS
Request an official transcript be sent to the Eligibility Center after
your junior year, and a final transcript after graduation.

STEP 5 — RECRUITING FILE
- 3-5 minute highlight video, most recent footage first
- Player profile: position, birth year, height, club, coach contact
- Season schedule so coaches know where to watch you play
- Short, personal emails to coaches — never mass mailings

STEP 6 — AMATEURISM
Do not accept prize money, pay, or benefits tied to athletic performance.
Ask the club before signing anything with an agent or outside team.

The club reviews recruiting files with families at no cost. Reach out via
