An Amazing College Recruiting Program
The program really is phenomenal. The staff is fantastic. They are very knowledgeable in their sport and how the college programs work. The classes are extremely helpful. The ability to see the school programs you're interested in between the coaching info, player playing time and grad dates with positions, whether they were brought up from high school or the portal ... all are invaluable when you're choosing a school.
The setup is easy. I the availability to have NCSA edit videos, in the MVP program having a former coach as your advisor and mentor coaching you through the process speaks volumes. Then the private email so coaches can trust the email when they open it and you can have one place where they can reach you is huge. You can also see when coaches open your email and which ones are following you. The investment is worthy. I wholeheartedly recommend the NCSA program.

Joyce has helped us navigate the crazy softball recruiting process so much. She’s always honest and makes herself available when we have questions. I would recommend them to anyone in the recruiting process. It’s hard to know the correct things to do and she’s made that process so much easier. So if you have a player looking to play at the next level I would highly recommend to check them out. It’s worth your time!
Sincerely,

Terrible, they take your money and don’t help anyone. Save your money and email coaches yourself.

Very informative and helpful
Recruiting process.
Even though we're still going through the recruiting process, the experience with NCSA is unbelievable. My son Chad Allan Ravix and I would 100% refer the NCSA to any one out there for their recruiting process.

Coach Keyes has been great guiding our family through the recruiting process. We appreciate her insights and flexibility when dealing with a hectic family schedule! She is the best! Thank you NCSA!
This organization is poorly run
This organization is poorly run. We had multiple calls scheduled. The first time they cancelled because "they were held up on other calls." The second time they cancelled literally at the time of the meeting, with no explanation. We called and spoke with someone who handles the scheduling. We explained the situation. We were on hold for 15 minutes and she finally came back to us and said no one was available to take the call. I told her to take us off of their list as they were not keeping their meetings and we obviously were not a priority. We received a call within a few minutes and the "advisor" immediately asked me if we were ready to have the call now. No apology about missing the meeting. Before I could even answer, he asked me if I was an athlete. I let him know I was a three sport athlete. What a bizarre thing to ask a parent!? Anyway, we are moving on from this group.

Coach Brandon Hoke is the best!
Coach Brandon Hoke is a very knowledgeable and wise coach. He is a kind person who shows genuine excitement and enthusiasm in working with my son Charlie. It’s encouraging to know he’s with us all the way.
Disappointed by Lack of Professionalism and Respect for Our Time
We were extremely disappointed with our experience with NCSA. The communication was excessive and unprofessional - we received constant texts reminding us to be prepared and on time for multiple scheduled meetings, only to then receive follow-up messages each time stating that their staff would be late.
As parents of a student-athlete, this sends the completely wrong message. Student athletes are constantly told that punctuality and professionalism are critical when dealing with college coaches and recruiters. If our daughter were late to calls, meetings, or recruiting events, it would absolutely be viewed negatively and could potentially impact opportunities for her future.
It is frustrating and hypocritical for an organization that claims to prepare athletes for the recruiting process to repeatedly fail to model the same level of professionalism and respect for other people’s time. Families rearrange schedules and make these meetings a priority, and we expected the same courtesy in return.

Coach Louis is a great resource
Coach Louis is a great resource! Assisting every step of the way in this recruiting process.
Taking things to the next level
If you have a student athlete that is interested in playing at the next level, NCSA opens up doors and communications that you never knew existed. The advice which is received from your assigned coach is invaluable (our coach is, Anthony Behonick). Any question that we have had, Coach Behonick answers quickly and concisely. Great program.

The app is clear and intuitive but most of all it is the personal guidance of Ben Wright. He is honest and direct with clear indications on how to continue.
NCSA Has Made Recruitment Easier for us as Parents
NCSA has been easy (as a parent) to understand and Coach Foster has lead the way if we ever have an questions about where we are and what the next steps should be. Great customer service with NCSA business, recruitment advice and even down to film editing. NCSA has made this recruitment journey much easier for all 4 years of highschool football.
Excellent & Outstanding resource to student athletes
Excellent resource to student athletes. Evan is truly compassionate about his work. He takes the time to listen, give outstanding advice and furthermore, he provides his very honest opinion. Finally, he does not rush, but takes times to collect all details and follow up with best answers. Awesome and very professional.
Thank you
