NCAA clearinghouse

I don’t have a direct answer, but we ran into some questions while completing it a couple years back and a simple call to the NCAA cleared everything up quickly and completely.

Ok quick question. I'm filling out the info for my 2019 and just wanted to check on a few things. 

When it asks if son played on any teams/clubs besides HS teams. Is that travel teams? At first I assumed so but then it asked questions like what league which is a required field that there isn't an answer to so I thought maybe it's not talking about travel teams. 

It's been a while since my son filled out the NCAA Clearinghouse form, but I do remember listing the American Legion and Travel team he played for outside of the HS team.

It is talking about ANY team. They need to know if he accepted money/goods to play.  If there was no league then the appropriate response is N/A or none I'd assume.  

Thanks for the replies. I filled it out listing the travel teams but it took forever to look up the stuff like contact info and how much I paid lol. So freshman or younger parents. Write that stuff down some where and save yourself some time hahaha. 

Yes, and be sure to save your log-in info for the NCAA Clearinghouse and check in from time to time.  There is some initial training required, and then you need to be sure you send your son's test scores and final grades to it as he nears the end of HS so they can certify he is eligible to play college baseball.  Fortunately we did all of this and when my son was a late add to a college team, everything was in order and he could join the team right away.

It will also be necessary for athletes to update their answers to the "amateurism" questions for the Eligibility Center if they transfer to a Division I or II program, whether from a JUCO or from another four-year college, so that's another good reason to save the log-in information until your athlete's college eligibility is finished.
