NCSA Next College Student Athlete

[Guest]

Does anybody have any experience with this company? They continually send me emails saying they can help get my 16-year-old noticed in front of college coaches.

We signed up for their middle tier a month or so ago and not sure it was a good decision.
I don't see much difference versus manually emailing coaches and creating a YouTube page for your videos.

Definitely a money grab, don't waste your time or money.  They make millions of dollars on thousands of kids each year, when less than hundreds of them actually get scholarships.

That’s what a thought it might be.

All of the things that you think it is, it isn't. Don't fall for their your kid is the next BU or the like player tag line. If your kid is the next "that" player you've already been contacted by the coach, staff or somebody closely aligned with the school or organisation. You can do all of the same things they do. All they do is send letters out to junior teams and schools hoping somebody will be interested. Normally those who are interested are jr teams who invite you to open tryouts which are better known as money collection tryouts which offer no real chance for an opportunity to play. There was an informative discussion about the jr teams tactics a few weeks ago here. Good luck!
