All teams participating at an NCAA certified event must register online prior to reporting to participate in the event. Coaches are expected to keep their online rosters updated. The same address and telephone number cannot be utilized for multiple athletes. Coaches will need to “opt in” to all events in which the team will participate.

Registration on this site does not register the team with the events operator; coaches will still need to contact the event directly. Failure to register or to submit all required information in the NCAA BBCS system will result in the team being denied participation in all NCAA certified summer events.
