NCSA recruiting service question
Posted on 5/20/16 at 12:48 pm

Has anyone had any personal experience with this company?
I got a call from them regarding my son and they want to set up an interview. They have a decent grade on the BBB website but some scam complaints on other forums.
I know they are in it for the $$$ and probably call every kid out there but I was just curious if anyone had a personal experience with them.

used to work for them when I got out of school. Yes it is a business/sales. But that call costs you nothing and at the very least it can help educate your family on the recruiting process. I only worked on the sales side so cant speak for the actual customer service side.
Main thing is don't sign up and think they do all the work for you. Good luck to your son/daughter!

Stay away! The above comment is misleading. They won't teach you anything until you pay, and once you do, they will only supply you with info in the form of links, NCAA guidelines etc. It will NOT help him get recruited.

Pointless. Don't do it.

I disagree. If you don't mind going out of state they definitely get you in contact with schools looking for players. She ended up going to a JC that we would've never known about. There are also classes to become more educated about the process.

They want money and target kids who might be under the radar in non-revenue generating sports. If your son is a known college prospect, you do not need their assistance. If not, in my opinion, you can market your son equally effectively at the cost of your personal time.

They are actually a recruiting service unlike Rivals, 247, ESPN etc which are for fans. That said I wouldn't bother unless your kid goes to tiny school or a new football program

Have never known a kid to get a college offer from this.

Its a terrible service. They mass email every coach in the country. Coaches know this, and just delete the emails. A generic NCSA email is auto-trash
Coaches want kids organically interested in their schools ... not a corporate company pushing potential student athletes to them and everyone else.

quote:Yes. If your son is a legitimate 3* or better he doesn't necessarily need their services. If your son has a desire to play at the next level including DII, DIII or NAIA then they can help him get recruited.
Has anyone had any personal experience with this company?
I looked at the cost of the service as an investment in his college. Got the service when he was a freshman. One time fee. They will not guarantee him a scholarship but they can get him exposure to schools that you never even knew existed.
My son is going into his junior season so it's still way to early to see what happens to him. The only advice I can give is it is the parents responsibility to give their child as much exposure as possible.

You can do everything they do on your own. Every College and University has Student Athlete forms on their website. Fill those out, I've had a bunch of kids get to play ball at small schools they never heard of before by doing this.
