Recruitment Resources

More information coming soon!

The NCAA Clearinghouse is an organization that helps determine the eligibility of student-athletes to participate in college-level sports in the United States. It is important to understand as a prospective student-athlete that the NCAA is there to determine your eligibility, not to provide guidance on how to get or maintain your college eligibility. It is the responsibility of the student-athlete to understand the academic and amateurism requirements and make sure they are on track to meet those requirements with the help of their high school guidance counselor and school administrators. For more information visit the NCAA Clearinghouse.

Coaching & Competition Level

Coached to Compete

Competitive rosters are led by licensed coaches who run structured training sessions, prepare players for game day, and provide individualized feedback throughout the season. Coaching staff track development against clear benchmarks for each age group and tier.

Competition level on a Madison 56ers competitive team means regular travel, a consistent training schedule, and games against clubs that field similarly prepared rosters. Players should expect a season built around preparation, not casual participation.
