Guidelines for NCAA Signing Days 2024-2025
To celebrate our student-athletes who will be continuing their athletic careers in college, Lenape Valley has established guidelines for signing days. We have aligned our dates with the official NCAA signing periods, which are coordinated with the National Letter of Intent (NLI) program. The NLI is a binding agreement between the student-athlete and a Division I or Division II academic institution, which has offered the student-athlete financial aid. We will also have a spring signing day for Division III student-athletes.
For 2024-2025 the following dates are in effect:
Fall Signing Day: November 13, 2024
All student-athletes who have an NLI will be recognized during this signing session. Based on the NCAA’s, student-athletes with a commitment to a Division I or Division II institution that does not offer NLIs (Ivy League Schools and Service Academies, for example) will be invited to participate. This signing day will be for all sports except football.
Winter Signing Day: February 5, 2025
All football student-athletes who have an NLI will be recognized during this signing session and all other Division I and Division II student-athletes that committed to schools after the fall signing date. Based on the NCAA’s, student-athletes with a commitment to a Division I or Division II institution that does not offer NLIs (Ivy League Schools and Service Academies, for example) will be invited to participate.
Spring Signing Day: May 2, 2025
All student-athletes who will be continuing their athletic careers at a Division III school will be recognized during this session. Student-athletes may bring the NCAA Division III Student-Athlete Celebratory Signing Form. Division I and Division II student athletes who committed after the fall and winter signing dates also will be invited to participate.
Future College Athletes Day: TBD
In late spring, a photograph of all future college student-athletes will be taken. This is a final celebration for all of our student-athletes who will be competing in an NCAA sport at the Division I, II, or III level.
