Hi Joey - We're sorry to hear your experience with NCSA did not live up to our standards. Please reach out to [email protected] or our member services team if there's anything we can do to assist.
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.
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 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.
Hi Woody - We apologize that your experience didn't live up to our standards and have sent your feedback to our team.
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.
My experience has been horrible and a waste of time and money, I would defiantly not recommend anyone to join this, I really wish I did my research with this before giving all this money, it is a complete waste no schools have reached out to my son, nothing and no one and I mean no one reaches out or helps or connects you with anything for colleges, so it was a complete waste of my money. DON'T JOIN THIS AT ALL, IT IS NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY AT ALL!!! NO COLLEGES REACH OUT AND ALL THIS IS, IS A BIG SCAM TO GET A LOT OF MONEY FROM YOU AND NOT HELP YOU TO GET YOUR CHILD IN ANY COLLEGE OR ANY SCHOOLS TO REACH OUT TO THEM FOR ANYTHING!!! A BIG SCAM STAY AWAY AND DON'T JOIN THIS AT ALL. I WANT TO GIVE IT A ZERO STARS!!!! NOT WORTH YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY STAY AWAY FROM THIS ORGINIZATION. WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

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.
Coach Henkel is THE best.
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, Joshua Fowler Lillian P. Fowler class of 2028
This is the perfect database for finding schools that may be a fit and contacting coaches.
Terrible, they take your money and don’t help anyone. Save your money and email coaches yourself.
Mike - We apologize that your experience didn't live up to our standards and for the delay in our response here. If we can help you get more out of your membership, including helping with coach contact, please reach out to [email protected]. We'd appreciate an opportunity to help turn this experience around.
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!
We had a negative experience. Unfortunately an emergency life matter occurred and we were put through alot in order to cancel. Will not sign up again in future.
Betty - We're sorry to hear your experience with NCSA did not live up to our standards. If you have anymore feedback for our team, please reach out directly at [email protected].
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.
John - We're disappointed to hear about your experience and are passing this feedback onto our team. We completely understand your decision to move on, but if you ever do change your mind, please reach out to [email protected].
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.
Hi Lindsey - Thanks so much for your feedback and we're disappointed to hear about your experience. We've passed on your review to our team. Please email us at [email protected] if you're willing to re-schedule your meeting.
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.
Coach Louis is a great resource! Assisting every step of the way in this recruiting process.
