The purpose of the Developmental Program is to help incoming freshman athletes to make the transition from high school soccer to the college level and to allow them the opportunity to try out for the collegiate soccer team after one semester in the program.

Students who participate in this program have several requirements to meet. In order to be eligible to try out for the soccer team in the spring, a student/athlete must:

· Attend class regularly

· Maintain at least a 2.0 GPA

· Demonstrate an acceptable level of athletic ability

· Meet all NJCAA requirements to participate in intercollegiate athletics

*Grades will be determined by the students’ participation throughout the semester. You cannot participate in practices until copies of your physical, insurance, and waiver form are on file.
