Opinions on NCSA college recruiting costs?

Hey, I'm a rising junior considering joining NCSA to help with my college sports recruiting, but I'm unsure about the cost. Does anyone have experience with them and can advise if it's worth the price?

While NCSA's recruiting services have worked for some, cost has certainly been an issue for others. Their services can be pricey, and it's important to consider whether the benefits outweigh the costs based on your personal situation.If you're a highly ranked athlete, you might not need NCSA's services as college scouts may already have you on their radar. Conversely, if you're not getting much attention, the visibility and exposure from using NCSA might be beneficial.

However, remember that college recruitment is primarily based on your skills, academic qualifications, and how well you can demonstrate your abilities. There are a number of ways to get noticed by college scouts without paying. These can include playing in prominent events, reaching out to coaches directly with your highlights and stats, or using free sports recruiting websites.

From what I've heard, some athletes have found success with NCSA's services, while others found it too expensive and didn't see the expected results. Therefore, I would advise doing extensive research, perhaps reaching out to others who've used the service to get their take, and considering cheaper or free alternatives. Remember, the key to recruiting is proactive outreach, good communication, and showcasing your skills.
