Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q. Can you go D1 or D2 from here.
A. YES, depending on your athletic abilities shown on your Game Film, GRADES and attitude.

A. COMA - Conference of the Mid-Atlantic. COMA falls under our governing body called NASAA - The National American Scholastic Athletic Association, which is a new privatized network of police officers, high school & college coaches as well as NFL players.
Q. Does Union County Vipers provide housing?
A. No, however, we do make recommendations for the best housing options available in our area of Monroe North Carolina.
Q. Can you refund my Program Fee/Commitment Fee or Athletic Fees back to me, if I quit, decommit for personal reasons or get expelled?
A. ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS! The time spent investing in the preparation of vetting & the game film analysis of 100's of student-athletes to come to our program and our academic partners make it impossible to give refunds. The same dedication and commitment we provide the student-athlete, we expect the same for the student-athlete to have towards the program. Once you are in and signed the letter of intent, we expect completion of the program. If you plan to decommit, you will need a clearance letter from our program to release you and again no refunds.
Q. What is the cost to participate in the Union County Vipers Privatized Juco Program?
A. It only costs a non-refundable $800.00 to participate in our athletic program. Once you commit & pay, you are guaranteed your roster spot and your jersey number. But do remember, we do have returning players, so your number of choice, may not be available.
Q. What do I need to do to become eligible to play?
A. High School Diploma or GED. Be a full-time student, a 2.0 GPA to gain admissions. We are going to need a copy of your high school or college transcript, need your state issued id, need to complete the FAFSA and enter the school code within the FAFSA.

Q. Are your Collegiate Athletic Programs varsity programs?
A. NO, we are classified as an independent privatized collegiate athletics program.
