College Coaches In Attendance for PK mart Sports Festival Volleyball Tournament

All individuals who engage in coaching activities at NCAA certified events must be approved through the NCAA Participant Approval Program administered by First Advantage prior to participation. Event operators are instructed to require coaches to show a State or US Government issued picture ID during their event check-in procedures to ensure that only approved coaches are granted the ability to participate.

FirstAdvantage (formerly known as LexisNexis) Application for Participant Approval

Previously when completing the First Advantage application, a randomly selected 10 question quiz served as the educational component.  That test has been replaced by a more significant educational component on a separate website - The NCAA Eligibility Center Coaching Education Course; a FREE course developed by the NCAA Eligibility Center and the National Federation of State High School Associations.  Click the link below followed by “Please Login to Order”, then click “Register Now” to create your account.  After you register, click “Order Now” to begin taking the free course.

Rules Education for Coaches of Prospective Student-Athletes

A coach or team administrator will need to register their team in the NCAA Basketball Certification System(BBCS).  The entire team needs to be entered along with the coaches and their approval numbers.  Once the team information has been entered, the team will need to “opt in” to the event(s) in which they would like to participate.  This can be completed by clicking “edit team events” on the team page in the BBCS.  We will have every approved event posted and the coach/team administration will need to put a check mark next to the event and click the save button.
