<p>So right now I’m taking a gap year before going to Wes next year. I’m interested in playing tennis at Wes, so is there try-out at the beginning of the year for teams? And do I need to contact the coach to inform him of my interest in joining? Thanks for answering!</p>
<p>i have no idea… but have questions of my own</p>
<p>if one wants to play a sport at college (varsity) does one have to go through some kind of process with the NCAA, some application or something- confused about this part</p>
<p>Wesleyan is a division III school. It’s my understanding that that means you don’t have to register with the NCAA Clearinghouse, which is for division I athletics. If you want to be recruited at a division I school you have to do that but it’s not a big deal.</p>
<p>There are big differences between athletics at division I and division III schools that you should know about if you want to play sports in college, and there are also different rules about recruiting. </p>
<p>The best way to start in either case is to contact the coaches at the schools where you want to go.</p>
