NCSA is a complete gimmick everything…
NCSA is a complete gimmick everything they tell you that they can do you can do as well and most likely better with a fraction of the cost. Furthermore, my daughter is only 13 years old and they’ve continuously contacted her with high-pressure sales tactics. To do that to a minor is highly inappropriate.

Excellent Communication
Coach Dom has been very supportive and proactive with player’s journey to become successful. Coach has always been available and responds immediately for player/parents if there’s any questions regarding preparation for IDCamps or related recruiting questions.
Extremely disappointed in the services
Extremely disappointed in the services. I would suggest to not waste your time or money. You will most likely hear right off the bat that this seems like a high pressed sales pitch. Well, it is. Lots of ads, it's all about the money. They don't care about the athlete or the family. If they did, they would run the business and portal differently and be getting real results, not made-up ones. Also, I am a real person! lol. Just to inform, this is not a real membership, it's more like a lifetime service, even though you won't need it for your entire life. All we experienced was just another platform to spread our information to useless, expensive, sports program opportunities. All we received was junk mail in the portal. Paying this type of money should keep you away from ads. Even some of the random coach emails seemed like a blast ad and definitely not genuine or personal. If you really want these services, do not sign up unless you are ready to pay the full amount up front and you know for certain you will be using this platform for your child's future, because if, for some reason, your life flips upside down and you need to pause the payments, you can't. No help, no working with the athlete or family, just a company full of fake people trying to make a buck.

My son has benefited from having this… platfrom and recruiting coach
My son has benefited from having this program. He has 4 offers to play college soccer. The platform and coaching helped him to make connections with coaches all over the United States. We are excited to watch him play college soccer!
Disgusting business practices
I was receiving calls to sign up to meet with someone to discuss services which was fine but then they were coming very frequent despite me sharing that I would set up the dste on my own. They crossed the line when they started calling my child directly and even worse, while they were in school. This was not authorized and is a disgusting way to get attention. This type of sales tactic/approach speaks volumes to the culture and I can never see me hiring someone like this to represent me and my family. We have the free profile and will leave it at. The credibility of this organization has left me with more questions than answers.

Helpful guidance and support
The website and my personal coach is very helpful, I have received so much support and guidance coming from an athlete who knew nothing about the recruiting process a couple of years ago.

Coach Nick is very attentive and supportive of my daughter's participation with NCSA and her development as a rower. He gives her sound advice and is very responsive when she or I do have questions or needs. We appreciate him and the NCSA program very much!

Coach santos is top notch and really knows his stuff we are so grateful to have him for our coach if I could give him 10 stars I would
Love having support
Love having support of our NCSA coach when we have questions about recruiting. Thanks!
Great opportunity with the work you put into the platform
The platform gives you back what you put into it. If you put in the effort and time then you can connect with coaches and schools you never knew existed. With the amount of money you put out, we gor the highest package, you can see in returns of 10x in scholarships and opportunities to further your athletic career. We were skeptical at first and it started slowly. As my daughter put in more effort and worked more with her coach she got more exposure to many different schools.

I gave 5 stars because l am really getting tge help that l need to get recruited for College.
DO NOT TRUST THEM
Its a scam that persuades the people using it by giving them fake contacts to colleges in their "recruitment call" and then the contacts dissappear later. Then they make you pay absurd amounts of money for colleges that are in the middle of nowhere and/or just have bad academics in general. Its not simple to cancel either and they don't just let you cancel (even though you paid a good amount of money for it). Overall, there are extremely better methods than this horrible service.
