DO NOT waste your money
DO NOT waste your money on a paid profile from NCSA. It is absolutely not worth the cost! Reach out to coaches on your own and save your money to attend camps of colleges you are interested in. There is a ton of advice online about steps to take to get recruited and it’s free! Here are just a few reasons of why I do not recommend purchasing a package: 1. The cost is outrageous for what you are supposed to get 2. Aggressive sales tactics- made me feel like my daughter would not get recruited unless she had a better profile even though I said I could not afford it. Made sure she was right there to hear all this as well. Guy did not want to take no for an answer. I’m so embarrassed I fell for this and let him bully me into purchasing a package 3. We were “ghosted” by our NCSA recruiter coach. He set up a phone call with my daughter, never called, and we never heard from him or anyone from NCSA again. This was right before her senior year. 4. We never got highlight video made from footage we sent in 5. There really was no guidance at all. My daughter would ask a question and his only response ever was to send a template for her to fill in and send to coaches (that’s not what coaches want) or he would tell her he was was going to send her something and not send it at all. It’s like he didn’t even know what it took to get recruited and definitely didn’t take her seriously. 6. It seemed they only promoted her profile to places she had no interest in. 7. College coaches were less likely to write back through NCSA. Maybe it’s because they get spammed with promoted profiles on the daily? 8. Speaking of spam- the few coaches that did reach out through NCSA would spam reach out even when she said she wasn’t interested. I even got texts at 6am from one that just wouldn’t give up. In the end, my daughter was recruited to play D3 basketball. But, she DID NOT use NCSA to achieve that goal. NCSA had nothing to do with her getting recruited at all. After she was ghosted on the phone call that was the deciding point that we knew NCSA was not going to actually help her out at all So let this be a last friendly warning that the cost of the NCSA packages are not worth it! You don’t need to spend thousands to have a recruiting profile to send coaches! You can even make your own highlight videos as well! There are so many free resources online to read over that help too. Don’t be a fool like me! Save your money!
