NCSA College Recruiting Reviews 

Many people wonder if NCSA Recruiting is worth the money. I totally understand it is an investment but I will say it is totally worth the cost. Once your athlete sets up their profile, they can search on colleges to research if that school is a good fit. They can search on division level, size of the school, academic requirements. They can send emails to coaches and it shows if a coach has opened their email, viewed their profile and/or is following their NCSA journey. Your athlete is assigned a coach to help answer questions you may have and will even have 1:1 meetings with you. These coaches appear to all have been volleyball college athletes themselves and are even current coaches at universities. I hope this helps in your decision of your athlete's recruiting journey and best wishes to your athletes journey and dream.

When we started with Ncsa it wasn't that good we didn't have a coach that even did football stuff now we have coach James he is amazing he was a former football coach and has helped in my recruiting process so much. He talk to me so tha I understand and takes time to make sure my mom and myself understand. He goes above and beyond every phone chat thank you

More or less a scam that hypes its influence trying to make you think your are a player. We were pitched by "Jim" who claimed to play the same position as my son. He said "here is my cell phone, call anytime you want". The cell phone rang to the main number of NSCA and "Jim" was no longer with the company a month later. Personal coaching is the best place to put your money.

Coach Amanda knows our family and knows our daughter. She listens and remember. She speaks to our daughter as if she knew our daughter as one of Coach Amanda’s own field players.

We love NCSA!!! My daughter is a Sophomore now and we are really happy with everything NCSA has to offer. Ashley has been awesome to work with. She is always there when we need her. We recommend NCSA to everyone who ask what recruiting site we use.

Coach Carrillo again was great to talk to. He has a wealth of information navigating recruiting. We have really enjoyed working with him and are looking forward to learning more about chasing this dream.

NCSA has provided my daughter the confidence she needs to talk to college coaches! Our recruiter is wonderful and really relates to my daughter.

Our recruiting coach Kalee has been so helpful with all our questions and a great positive attitude of encouragement. I highly NCSA for parents who need support and guidance through the process as it can be overwhelming.

Coach Brian is fantastic. Our interactions with him in the last year and a half of our student athlete's recruitment journey have been marked by his consummate professionalism, honest and specific advice and feedback and consistent reliability. Coach Brian truly took the time to get to know the person our athlete is and constantly provided advice, guidance and timely answer to questions. Our interactions have helped fuel to confidence in our family's decision making and I recommend the experience highly

If I could give zero stars I would. This program is a scam. They do not care about your child. They care about money and do not disclose the “agreement” up front to you when you sign up with your “coach”. I am very disappointed honestly. The customer service lady I spoke to was extremely rude and sarcastic and not helpful at all. Do you research before your call with your “coach” so you know what you’re getting into. It’s all a big propaganda for money. I highly recommend researching this company before going forward. If we would have, we wouldn’t have ever took their call.

We had a very poor experience with NCSA.

My son is a strong student-athlete with a clearly defined academic goal, yet the schools NCSA matched him with did not even offer his intended degree program. Despite reaching out to multiple colleges through the platform, no schools with his actual degree program ever responded.

The service felt generic and automated rather than personalized, which defeats the entire purpose of paying for recruiting assistance. When we attempted to cancel after realizing the matches were academically incompatible and ineffective, we were not allowed to cancel, which added to the frustration.

For the cost, we expected meaningful academic alignment, real outreach support, and basic flexibility when the service clearly wasn’t delivering. Unfortunately, we received none of that.

I would not recommend this service to families who care about academic fit as much as athletics.

Not worth the money, they promise they will assist you with all aspects of the program if you pay for the highest membership… LIES they don’t assist with nothing they call you a couple times send you some workshops that you can find free on YouTube! Honestly do not recommend wish no stars were available to rate this NCSA!

It is so so important for the recruiter coach and the student athlete to form a connection. Without a connection, the sessions can feel like the recruiter is not interested in the student as a person and just there to go through a checklist of rapid-fire questions about profiles and to-do lists. Perhaps a better approach would be to ask some personal questions; do they have pets, something the student likes, or maybe a favorite food or drink at Starbucks. Maybe share a short story of the recruiters' common interest. It is important to find the one or two things the recruiter has in common with the student other than just basketball. This will open up better conversation over time and build trust when the recruiter is giving advice. Especially when talking to female athletes.

I wouldn’t have even known where to start with my recruiting process without NCSA. They have been such a big help and everything is super organized and easy to find! I have loved everything about NCSA.

Helpful and professional advice from knowledgeable experts who care about your swimmer! Their platform is really extensive and easy, with tons of information, templates and contact details. In addition they offer lots of webinars that are invaluable to the whole process. Your contact person, who you meet with on a regular basis, will help alleviate the stress that recruiting entails, giving great advice, helping your swimmer set up their profile, and guiding you towards your goals. Overall worth every dollar!

Customer service and accessibility very good, with rapid and professional responses to queries. The whole process (so far) has allowed us to navigate through an entirely new venture for our son, and the ability to constantly refine and research how we approach college applications is very impressive.

Great experience. So easy to talk to. Great advice. Love these guys

Excellent program for athletes, the webinars are very informative for college prep and skill advancement

NCSA College Recruiting
I began my membership with NCSA in 2021 for my oldest daughter. At the time, I did not realize how difficult it would be to work with this company or how challenging it would be to end the membership.
My daughter has been in college for approximately 2.5 years and no longer needs or uses NCSA services. I attempted to cancel my membership in 2023 and have made multiple attempts since then to end the service. Despite these repeated requests, I have been told that I cannot cancel.
I recently discovered that NCSA has continued charging me a $35 monthly fee. When I contacted them again to cancel, I was once more informed that cancellation is not allowed. I do not use these services, do not want these services, and have made repeated good-faith efforts to cancel my membership.
This experience has been extremely frustrating and stressful. I am simply asking for my membership to be canceled and for the charges to stop. I hope NCSA will address this issue and improve their customer service and cancellation process.
