Warhawk Athletic ClubMembership Application

NCAA rules stipulate that a prospective student-athlete is a person who has started classes for the ninth (9th) grade, regardless of his/her athletic ability and/or participation.

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules indicate that all students, fans, donors, alumni, friends and employees of the University are categorized as representatives of athletic interests (boosters). The NCAA stipulates that once an individual has been identified as a representative of athletic interest of the university’s athletic program he/she retains this status forever, even if the individual is no longer associated with the athletic program. Furthermore, the NCAA states that it is possible to be a representative of athletic interests at more than one university or college at the same time.
