The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) is the major governing body for intercollegiate athletics in the United States with more than 1200 colleges and universities as members. There are more than 300 NCAA Division II Schools with over 5000 athletic teams and over 100,000 student-athletes.

Many Student-athletes who compete at this level have the potential to play Division I, but chose a Division II college for social or academic reasons. In general, these schools are small to medium sizes colleges, but if you look hard enough you can find a school to fit almost any requirement. Students who want a high level of competition while having more of a balance between academics and athletics are a great suit for Division II sports. It is also a great way to receive some scholarship and a lot of playing time.
