NCAA Eligibility
Are you aware? The requirements are changing for students who enroll full time at an NCAA Division I school after August 1, 2016.
Students must graduate high school and meet ALL the following requirements:
- Complete 16 core courses:
- Four years of English
- Three years of math (Algebra 1 or higher)
- Two years of natural/physical science (including one year of lab science if your high school offers it)
- One additional year of English, math or natural/physical science
- Two years of social science
- Four additional years of English, math, natural/physical science, social science, foreign language, comparative religion or philosophy
- Complete 10 core courses, including seven in English, math or natural/physical science, before the seventh semester. Once students begin their seventh semester, they may not repeat or replace any of those 10 courses to improve their core-course GPA.
- Earn at least a 2.3 GPA in their core courses.
- Earn an SAT combined score or ACT sum score matching their core-course GPA on the Division I sliding scale, which balances their test score and core-course GPA. If students have a low test score, they need a higher core-course GPA to be eligible. If they have a low core-course GPA, they need a higher test score to be eligible.

Resources
Sportsmanship
| Integrity | Scholarship | Honor and Pride | Excellence | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Athlete |
COMPETE – All members of the team. All the time. “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.” - Prefontaine |
Self-advocate and communicate with teachers. Compete in the classroom. |
Realize that hard work leads to success and that true success cannot be achieved without hard work. Humility before pride. |
Have a vision of how good we could be so that you understand WHY we are working so hard. |
| Coach |
Set a positive example on and off the field. Being their coach never stops. |
Make a concerted effort to reach out to athletes who struggle academically. Communicate the academic probation process clearly to athletes and parents. |
Ask yourself, “Would you play for you?” Be a coach that encourages players to reach their potential, not someone who discourages them from trying. |
Be a part of the athletic community. Attend other sports’ events and find ways to support our non-athletes. |
| Athletic Department |
Emphasize sportsmanship among our fans and parents. We can be the best at that, too. Have systems in place to ensure that all WIAA, Kingco, and ISD rules are followed. Nothing slips through the cracks. |
Communicate the academic probation process clearly to athletes, teachers, parents, and coaches. Support athletes who are struggling in the classroom. Don’t just take a punitive approach. Celebrate our academic successes. |
Publicize our successes. Take pride in the truly important stuff – not just wins and championships. Work to create a game atmosphere that our community can enjoy. |
Be among the most organized AD’s in the league. No dropped balls. Hold all coaches to a high standard with our covenants. |
| Parent |
Model poise and confidence in the stands, in the community, and at home. Understand how the student-athlete experience fits into athletes’ lives as a whole. |
Support academic success along with athletic. Encourage follow-through by your athletes with both their coaches and their teachers. |
Represent the IHS Community well before, during, and after the game. “Preparing our kids for the road, not preparing the road for our kids.” |
Seek out ways to support your athletes’ program. It takes a village… Realize that your support through the wins AND the losses makes a difference. |
Goals:
- Give athletes a great experience.
- Use sports to teach life lessons.
