Frater out of Commonwealth Games

Michael Frater, World Championships 100m silver medalist, will not be attending the Commonwealth Games says his manager Paul Doyle.

At June's trials, Frater unlike many had said he wasn't sure if he would make the trip to new Delhi ... saying it depends on how he feels in September.

Now Doyle says Frater, who has suffered niggling injuries here and there, would be better off is he rest ahead of the very important 2011 season. Frater trains with Asafa Powell and Nesta Carter at MVP Track Club.

NAIA Launches New Eligibility Center

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced today that its NAIA Eligibility Center is accepting registrations from students interested in playing college sports. PlayNAIA.org is the official clearinghouse for NAIA eligibility. Every student seeking to compete in NAIA sports for the first-time in 2011-12 or after must be registered with the NAIA Eligibility Center.

At the NAIA Eligibility Center, prospective students are able to build a customized profile based on their sport and designate the type of schools, academic programs and activities of interest. Once a custom profile is complete, a student will have the opportunity to forward the profile and make a personal connection with college coaches and admissions officers.

"In addition to determining initial eligibility of first-time student-athletes, the NAIA Eligibility Center at PlayNAIA.org is a destination to explore the NAIA and connect with the small college sports experience," said John Leavens, NAIA senior vice president for membership services. "We've got a lot to offer including scholarships and nearly 300 colleges and universities to choose from. We're excited to tell our story and welcome you to PlayNAIA."

NAIA colleges and universities award $450 million in financial aid to 60,000 student-athletes every year. Additionally, NAIA colleges provide outstanding educational opportunities to students interested in receiving the personal touch of a small college education. The NAIA offers students an opportunity to continue their athletic career and play for a shot at one of 23 national championships in college football, men's basketball, softball and more.

Prospective student athletes are encouraged to visit www.PlayNAIA.org and explore the world of NAIA college sports. Find out more about NAIA schools, including NAIA college and university locations, and which NAIA schools sponsor specific sports. Plus, visitors can view NAIA college websites and check out photo galleries and links to NAIA championships.

The NAIA Eligibility Center is also a destination for member institutions, parents, high school guidance counselors and coaches. The site features numerous resources and includes a list of frequently asked questions, scholarship information, and details about transfer student eligibility, fees and much more.

With the launch of the new NAIA Eligibility Center, the association is in a better position to establish accountability in determining the eligibility of student-athletes and ensure fair competition among individuals with similar athletic experiences. Academic requirements for high school students interested in the NAIA have not changed. The only difference is that initial eligibility will first be determined through theNAIA Eligibility Center. The center is located at the NAIA national office headquartered in Kansas City, Mo.
