Submit Sports Participation Form to the NCAA

In some cases, the NCAA requires the submission of a Sports Participation Form as part of the admission process. In this article we describe what this Sports Participation Form is and how to complete it.

What is the Sports Participation Form?

The Sport Participation Form provides the NCAA with information about your sporting activities during a period defined by the NCAA. Usually, it is used to find out whether you participated in tournaments, competitions, team games, etc. during this defined period, even though the gap allowed by the NCAA between your graduation and the start of your studies had been exceeded.
Important:
If you find this task in your NCAA account, please speak to your college sports counselor immediately, as it is an indication that the NCAA is investigating your school career and may see a problem with it.

Completing and submitting the Sports Participation Form

The form is a Word document that you can fill out on your computer and then submit to the NCAA via email.

  1. Enter in the table on page 2 of the form all tournaments, competitions or games you have participated in during the specified period.
    1. Under Team or Club Name you enter the name of your club if it is a team game. For events in which you participated as an individual, leave this column blank.
    2. In the second column you enter whether the event in question is part of a national team or something similar. In most cases you will enter No there.
    3. Column 3 asks for the name of the tournament, event or league.
    4. In the last column you enter the date of the event.
  2. Question 1 below the table refers to periods or seasons in which you have not participated in any tournaments, competitions or games. You only have to answer this question if you have suspended one (or more) complete seasons.
  3. Questions 2-4 are only relevant if you have completed any form of military or civil service. In such cases, you describe what you did in this regard.
Important:
In order to be sure that you don't get in the way of your college sports admission by giving false information or using inappropriate wording, we recommend that you have the form checked by us before submitting it

  1. Send the file with the saved answers by email to acp-processing@ncaa.org. The subject of the email should include your name and NCAA ID number.
