Built for Florida homeschool athletes — and their families

The NCAA eligibility process for homeschool students is genuinely different from traditional school pathways. The Core Course Worksheet, the Eligibility Center registration, the academic timelines — none of it is straightforward, and most outside resources assume a traditional school setting.

Elevation Athletics was built specifically for homeschool families navigating this process, by advisors who have guided homeschool student-athletes through it firsthand.

Who this is for:

✔ Student-athletes in grades 9–12 pursuing Division I or II collegiate athletic opportunities

✔ Florida PEP scholarship families who want to use their scholarship funds toward NCAA preparation

✔ Parents who know their student has athletic potential but aren't sure where to start

What's Included:

NCAA Eligibility & Recruitment Prep Course :

A complete 9-week self-paced online course covering NCAA eligibility rules, Core Course Worksheets, academic requirements, recruiting rules, brand building, highlight reels, coach communication, social media strategy, and Florida-specific FHSAA and Bright Futures content — designed specifically for homeschool student-athletes.
