The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)<\/a> is the governing sports association in the United States that organizes all regional and national leagues and championships. In addition, this organization manages the three largest and most well-known university sports leagues (NCAA Division I, II & III<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universities in NCAA Division I and NCAA Division II award athletic scholarships<\/a> and academic scholarships<\/a> to student-athletes who can strengthen their teams. In NCAA Division III, only academic scholarships are issued and not athletic scholarships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not that the teams in Division I are necessarily better than the teams in Division II or Division III. There is a lot of overlap in the various divisions. This is because schools as a whole are assigned to a division, often based on school size, American football\/basketball leagues and other financial reasons. Because of this, there can be large level differences between individual sports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you can play sports and study in America, your playing eligibility or \u2018eligibility<\/a>\u2019 needs to be determined by the NCAA in America. Only if you meet all the requirements can you compete in one of the divisions as a student-athlete. Slamstox will assist you in this process and can apply for this eligibility to play for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
