I'm currently a high school junior who loves playing basketball, and I really want to continue playing in college. I've been looking into Grand View University as a potential school. Can someone tell me what division their basketball team is in and how competitive the team is? Any information would be appreciated!
Grand View University's basketball team competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NAIA is different from NCAA, which has three divisions (I, II, and III). While NAIA is generally considered less competitive than NCAA Division I, it still offers a high level of competition.
The competitiveness of the team can vary from year to year based on the roster and other factors. However, you can get a better understanding of their performance by looking at their season records, conference standing, and national ranking over the past few years. Additionally, consider attending some of their games or watching online to get a feel for their playing style and dynamics if possible.
To improve your chances of being recruited, make sure to maintain good grades, showcase your skills through highlight tapes or in-person filmed games, and reach out to the coach to express your interest in playing for their team. Keep in mind that participating in AAU tournaments or attending college basketball camps can also bolster your exposure to college coaches and increase your recruiting opportunities. Good luck!
