Guide to Pursuing College Athletics
These resources are here to help students explore what is required to play sports in college. Students must meet with their counselors to ensure you meet your core course requirements.
Students must register with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Eligibility Center after 7th semester of high school. Speak with the college and career counselor for help.
Please contact the College and Career Counselor, or Mr. Karolczak, RLHS Athletic Director, with further questions.
