Educational Tool Kit

Mandatory Educational Session.   

In order for an event to be certified, a comprehensive educational session, consisting of an in-person or video presentation, must be conducted for all prospective student-athletes.  The distribution of printed materials will not satisfy this requirement.  The tool kit includes a sample presentation and supplemental information about the mandatory topics (i.e., NCAA initial-eligibility standards, gambling, agents and drug use) and request form to order the optional NCAA educational video.   

In addition, you may request a copy of the NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete and the NCAA Transfer Guide by calling 800/638-3731.  If you would like to distribute copies of those publications to participants, you may order multiple copies by calling 888/388-9748.
