College rules

College rules

Once you are in the U.S. it is important to ensure you remain eligible to compete in college sports. There are many rules to keep in mind, such as you cannot receive any pay/compensation for competing outside of college, nor compete with anybody who does – that would be considered professional and render you ineligible. Another rule that is of great importance would be that you cannot publicly endorse any recruiting service or commercial products (even us!), so be careful what you post online and be on the lookout for anyone using your name/image to promote a product/service. Feel free to ask us if you have any questions or concerns!
