NCSA, Next College Student Athlete Reviews

It has made it very easy to contact and talk to coaches, especially from schools I've never heard of.

NCSA has taught me things about recruiting that I would have never known before.

It's nice to have the ability to look up any coach email by searching a school, but in reality you can do that all on your own. Unless you have the premium top package there's not much NCSA can do for you. Waste of time and mostly Money! You can find anything you need online on college websites under Athletics. At the end of the day, my daughter didn't get picked up by a college. I soon learned at camps that many college coaches don't use NCSA for recruiting. Disappointing.

Really this site is only as helpful as the activity of the college coaches. If a coach is never/rarely on your site then it does me no good to use your site to promote myself.

My recruiter answers any questions I have and also NCSA helps get me exposed to colleges from all around!

Great support team.

This helps a lot and I would recommend it to many of people. I haven’t used it as much but I plan to but my grades is not that good, but this helps a lot and would recommend it. Ik a lot of good basketball players who was a C+ student and still got in the nba and I feel like I am the same as them, but grades must be good now and it’s important and they will help you if you need the help. I think it would be better if they allowed low grades to get in high college schools like division 1 schools, and help them get there grades higher and have a better education also while playing basketball at the high divisions because some kids who have low grades is great basketball players but just don’t have the grades to show it and that’s why kids go overseas instead of college.

Just not worth the money.

The level of the active hockey program users tends to be more towards club and lower-level junior programs. There is a lot of good information on the various programs, but it seems that the coaches that use NCSA tend to be from club and Tier III junior level programs. This isn't necessarily all bad, but it would have been good to know that ahead of time.

Your product is great it just doesn't apply well to Canadian athletes. My son is ranked amongst the top 100 Class of 2020 football players in Canada on two indices. He has had very little interest from US schools even at a Div II level. The top 30 of those all have Div 1 offers - some multiple. He has 6 Canadian offers. NCSA has not generated any US interest for him.

Used this for both of our college ready student athletes...such a great service as long as you use it wisely!

Always very helpful

I love the app
Gave me joy about seeing what schools I had interest from and teaching me how to talk to coaches, but one thing that I think should change is the interactions with these coaches I feel like if there is a coach that we are given through this process of being recruited they should be able to reach out to the coaches and tell them; "hey I have this kid that is interested in your program, his 6ft he plays guard he is a knockdown shooter from midrange and I think he could be the leader of your team in the next 4 years." just to help cause there have been a few coaches that I really wanted to talk to about possibilities in transferring and playing for them now and I'm a freshman in college but they haven't responded or even opened my emails to even get to know me and see if we could work out a visit and other stuff. so I feel like if we are paying for this monthly payment to be a prestige member and we only see we are getting interest I feel like the "recruiting coaches" should help by reaching out to colleges along with us and have weekly text, and or calls talking about camps, possible coaches that would like to contact kind of have a "Manager/ representative - Athlete relationship"

NCSA has helped me organize my college search, making it easier to navigate my college recruiting journey. They give me tips on how to best handle different situations, from contacting and communicating with coaches to identifying strengths and weaknesses of the schools I'm talking to.

However, they claim to "advertise you to coaches", but really I think it just means they show off your profile to NAIA and DIII schools that partner with NCSA. I'm not the greatest athlete alive, but I'm no slouch, so it was really discouraging to see interest "only" from these small schools that I never knew existed. It wasn't until I reached out to DI schools that I really wanted to attend and compete for that I realized this wasn't the case. It also made me believe that DI schools don't rely on NCSA as much as DIII and NAIA.

NCSA is a great tool for athletes that don't have the stats or ability to attract big athletic programs, but for athletes that have a good shot at competing on the higher levels of college sports, it's not as valuable of a resource. Although I will say, NCSA has helped me streamline the recruiting process 10x more than I would've been able to on my own.

NCSA made the college recruiting process a breeze. They were there for us the whole way thru. I strongly recommend you join them if your child plans on playing at the next level.

A great tool for athletes

NCSA does a great job of matching Recruiting Coaches and players. Our Coach has coaching experience and is able to communicate what I need to do to reach my goals both on the field and off. It has been great working with NCSA.

Thanks for the help Fromm NCSA

NCSA has been amazing. They have given me the opportunity to get seen by colleges and learn more about being a college athlete.

Ncsa is great for seeing universities you don’t really know about. % match is not always accurate

Everyone really wants you to succeed

the coach i had (who was great) left a few months after signing up and paying over 1000$. the new coach took about a month to get in touch with and had less experience/ connections compared to the other. i feel like i was cheated out of money.

Would use again, if I was doing it over, very little help, I’ve gotten offers from D1 schools but nothing from Ncsa, not even a call from a school, my opinion is that Ncsa is a hustle and a lot of promises never seen

Has ABSOLUTELY helped me in the best way possible during the recruiting process. This has provided so many opportunities and has kept me up to date on all things recruiting. My personal recruiter is Mr. A.J. Trentini and he is the best at his job! I highly recommend using NCSA.

NCSA has given me access to an unlimited amount of colleges & coaches. I have also been given a platform to share information & videos about myself.
