NCSA College Recruiting Recensioni 

Coach Brady is always there for us with his expert advice and guidance- we are beyond grateful!

Coach Brittany is committed and dedicated to helping kids move forward with their passion!!

While by definition it can't be considered a "scam", morally it's no different. The salesman made it seem like there was no other way for my student to get into college sports without it, and when I said that I was in between jobs and wasn't sure I could afford it, he pressured me to get the lowest paid tier. It's been a year and all the payments have been paid, and we've received 4 messages from coaches from middle of nowhere states. And my student doesn't even play sports anymore because the coach quit! NCSA refuses to give a refund and has been known to be incredibly hostile towards those who ask for one. It breaks my heart to know organizations like this prey on families like ours, and there is nothing we can do. I could have used that $1500 for his college fund instead...

My daughter warned me not to subscribe to this service. (She is a high school wrestler.) She stated that the free subscription is all she needed. Unfortunately, I did not listen to her. If you subscribe, and pay month to month, you are locked in for the full year. They will offer you an early discount if you want to unsubscribe, but it will still leave you on the hook for about $1500.00. You have been warned.

NCSA is a great platform to get your foot in the door of all recruiting. You have unlimited access to get to any coach, and help is always there when you need it.

First of all, All the good reviews here are done by NCSA not by real people, I played in the top soccer league and thought it would be easier to sign my son up through them so I wouldn't have to handle all the paperwork myself; however, I want to point out that this company isn't a recruiter—they don't actually do anything. They charge $3,000 for a membership just so people can use the website, while the parents have to do all the work. When I received the first call, it was a man trying to schedule an appointment to talk; he was very insistent and wouldn't let me get a word in, so I agreed just to find out what it was about. The next day, a woman called; she was aggressive and pushed me to take the call. When I told her I was already aware of the schedule, she got angry and hung up on me. When I received the call, the man started speaking; when I asked what it was all about, he told me I had to pay for a membership before he could tell me more. He said my son needed a nutritionist and a psychologist. I am a retired professional soccer player. Usually, when a recruiter speaks to players, they tell them which teams have openings; however, this company doesn't know if a player will actually be signed by a team. When I asked, I was told I had to pay for a membership to contact coaches myself—since the company only provides access to the website—and that no further information would be given until I paid for the membership. I asked if he knew anything about soccer; he claimed he played and had been recruited through this site, playing the same position as my son. When I asked what position that was, he asked me what position your son plays? I told him, and he replied that it was the same one. This person knew nothing about soccer.
Then he told me that when my son turns 25, he could go see if he could turn professional; I told him that was too old to try to become a professional—there’s a professional soccer team two hours away, and he could go to the Portland Timbers academy. He kept insisting that it was better to go with his company because there were more opportunities. This person wouldn't let me speak; whenever he asked me something, he wouldn't let me answer, and he ignored almost everything I said.
This company isn't really what it claims to be.

I just want to provide some feedback. Now that we’re really in the recruiting process and been with NCSA for 2+ years, I must say I actually feel like I was scammed by NCSA. We bought the VIP package and have to fight to get time with our new coach because he has 1000+ clients to deal with. There is nothing proactive done by NCSA coaching in terms of personal attentiveness or guidance. There are no check ins so whatever our son is doing, he’s doing it on own. I am definitely doing more for my son’s recruiting process than NCSA is. Everything is canned and automated from NCSA with solicitation from IMG. We also get the feeling that there is no genuine care for having our son or players recruited.
As a high school coach of 16 years, I decided to give NCSA a try for my son... Right now it’s not something I would recommend to any of my players.

This is golf and coming from the student athlete perspective so I can’t speak for all perspective and sports. I truly think NCSA for golf is probably the biggest scam for recruiting. If you just want to be on a team and don’t care what school it is then it may be for you. But if you purchase the NCSA plan to reach a mid-decent d1 level it is completely pointless and unhelpful. Me and my parents purchased the highest membership and thought it was gonna help me get into the best school I can but it didn’t. To make it quick, the NCSA coach is pretty active during first month however after that he kinda ghosts you. I promise you to anyone reading this NCSA will not get you into the best school you can get to, it will just get you into a school and honestly, emailing and contacting a coach on your own is much better and you will see more meaningful results then just Ncsa. One plus is the find your college feature lots basically a way to filter out all schools through criteria’s like division, tuition, location, and anything relating to that. But that comes with the free version. So to sum it up, don’t spend a dime it’s completely useless and a scam.

Very helpful and lots of opportunities to learn more! Super easy to contact when help is needed or advice, definitely recommend NCSA!

Horrible horrible service!!! They said we could cancel at any time and then when I went to cancel they said over $500 to cancel. I never signed the document they said I signed. Family of low income parents, my husband had a heart attack recently they are horrble.

Would rate a zero if I could. Just a glorified email system. Coaches don't answer emails. They invite you to camps hoping for money. They don't actually converse here. No help or direction from them. Basic package just takes your money and let's you talk to AI when you need it.

Very experienced and knowledgeable advisor. Thank you coach Jim for all your help! Grant G

This is a money grab. Thought they would be proactive getting the next tier, they just want your money. Their search tool is good, we really liked that but everything else was not worth the money. Go to camps, email the coaches and get in front of them. Everything for our kids has been done by us, NCSA had no part in it.

I love everything about it. Coach Ponnone has gone above and beyond for me and put me on a path to succeed. Highly recommend him if he is available.

Coach Eric Stark is very professional and patient for tennis player. My son is a tennis lover and good player, when he has any questions/issues about the tennis, he always made an appointment with coach Eric, Eric always gave some very useful advance every times, this is very helpful for kid player. Thank you so much, Coach Eric.

NCSA is a great tool for any family who would like to get their kid to play competitive sport in the college and beyond.

NCSA Coaches have great connections with colleges

Our son's recruiting coach, Patrick Bain, is always thorough and comprehensive and has good ideas.

Jessie was incredibly helpful in getting us organized. He helped us prioritize, focus on what is most valuable, and helped us put together a timeline to make things easier. His knowledge base is vast and I’m really glad we had the opportunity to work with him.
