Horrible horrible service!!
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.

NCSA is a great Partner to have
With all of the changes in college recruiting I wanted to make sure we had all of the help we could get. I do not regret our MVP membership with NCSA. We have regular zoom meetings with Coach Mike and get tasks to complete before the next meeting. This keeps us on track and we have the ability to text questions or schedule a follow up if we are having trouble along the way. I believe we are getting way more college attention with NCSA in our corner. The videos and workshops are invaluable as well. We started in 7th or 8th grade with a one time fee and I definitely feel like it was money well spent. NCSA is not just saving me time, they’re saving my sanity!
Would rate a zero if I could
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…
Very experienced and knowledgeable advisor. Thank you coach Jim for all your help! Grant G
This is a money grab
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.

NCSA is part of my daily routine
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, nice and patient
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 an efficient tool
NCSA is a great tool for any family who would like to get their kid to play competitive sport in the college and beyond.
I like the way people trat my daughter
Good counseling.
Our son's recruiting coach, Patrick Bain, is always thorough and comprehensive and has good ideas.
So helpful!
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.
NCSA golf coach
Have been with NCSA for 2 years and my golf advisor is coach Kirk Kaydan.
Coach Kaydan has always been available to offer advice on how to contact golf coaches, what to write and how to handle telephone interviews with college coaches.

My experience with NCSA
My experience with NCSA has been great because the coaches are so understanding and helpful to get me where I need to be as a player.
1000% Recommend!!
Excellent in helping and always there to give advice! Helped our daughter to have more confidence and now she is so interested to move forward with her college choices since coaches have actually been reaching out to her! Love how knowledgeable and friendly Evan Eigner is! He is definitely a great recruiting coach!! Can't wait to see where the future takes our daughter!!
Do not give this company your contact…
Do not give this company your contact information if you are not 100% sure you want to use them. I made the mistake of checking a box while filling out a waiver for my daughter‘s softball tournament. They have incessantly called, texted, and emailed both my wife and I every single day even after I tried to unsubscribe multiple times. I warned them that I would blast them in the reviews if they kept up their predatory harassing practices, and they still did not stop. They will charge you thousands of dollars to do something that you can do yourself. Make an Instagram account for your athlete put together some clips in a YouTube video, and email college coaches yourself. Do not make the mistake of working with these people.

NCSA Coach John Bell is outstanding
NCSA Coach John Bell has been a great advocate for our sons football recruiting. He has connected us to college coaches, training camps and continually sharing his profile. He checks in with us regular and reaches out to periodically check in with us. I am so glad we have him to help guide us through this process.
