PVA Athletics

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is an organization that runs athletics in colleges across the country.   All student-athletes must meet a certain academic standard if they intend to play sports at the Division I or II level.  Each Division has its own requirements, but they all have the same component of high school applicants being enrolled in a standard of courses to secure their eligibility.  Read more about eligibility requirements at: https://www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/play-division-i-sports
