FAM is officially rolling out our revamped high school recruiting program this September. It’s more than a recruiting program, it’s a personal development program that creates the best opportunities for recruitment based on the eight pillars of development. I included the FAM contact information in case you need it. Look forward to partnering with families to develop your athlete and create opportunity!

Thought you all needed to see this picture of Coach Anthony from back in the day! Did you know he was named to the Hawthorne HS Hall of Fame? Never did this guy imagine the foundation that sports would give him to succeed in life. Keep at it. Develop.

Hi everyone! The next 2 days the NCAA will meet and discuss their proposed 5 year age based eligibility model. If adopted, the age-based eligibility model would replace current eligibility rules in Division I, instead allowing student-athletes up to five years of competition within their chosen sport during a five-year window that begins the academic year following their high school graduation or their 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. Some noteworthy points: - Student-athletes whose fourth season of collegiate eligibility was completed by spring 2026: No additional eligibility. - Currently enrolled student-athletes with eligibility remaining after the 2025-26 academic year: Flexibility for schools to apply the age-based model or continue with the previous eligibility rules (four seasons to compete with five total years of eligibility), whichever is most beneficial to that individual. - Prospects expected to graduate from high school in spring 2027: Age-based model only. - Prospects expected to graduate from high school in spring 2026, regardless of planned enrollment date: Age-based model only. - Prospects who graduated prior to spring 2026 and have not enrolled: The NCAA Eligibility Center will review the prospect's individual circumstances and apply the age-based model or existing delayed enrollment eligibility rules, whichever is most beneficial to that individual. We will keep you updated as this moves forward.

We are getting a lot of questions on the new NCAA 5 year rule. Anyone, have any knowledge they want to share with the rest of us?

Do you agree?
