BASKETBALL RECRUITING

​

​

​

​

​

Beginning in 2017, the NCAA made it mandatory that all individuals who participate in an NCAA certified event must go through an online process in order to play in a certified event. If you are. not sure if you should do this, please ask your Coach. NCAA Certified events allow Division 1 coaches entry into that event during designated "evaluation periods." Our Blaze Director must send our rosters from the NCAA BBCS system to the NCAA Certified event director. Coaches will NOT be able to add your athlete onto this roster unless your athlete completes all the steps below.

​

If you are attending an NCAA Exposure event during your season, please follow the steps below. If you are unsure check with your Director. All High School Blaze teams typically attend 2-4 NCAA certified events per season. NCAA will host athlete education sessions to explain why this is part of the process and walk you through enrolling. You can find more basketball certification help at Basketball Certification Education page (look to the right of the page under announcements).

​

To Complete your BBCS Certification, follow the steps below:

  • RETURNING ATHLETES should RENEW their previously created BBCS account and NOT create a new account.
