Are Athletic Scholarship Recruiting Services Scams or Rip-offs?

NCSA, CaptainU, BeRecruited, ScolleyMe, Hudl, these are some names of recruiting services used by families of high school athletes seeking athletic scholarship opportunities.
Do They Work? Are They a Waste of Money? Are They Scams?

Do you work for NCSA????? Why would you endorse a company that has almost all bad reviews with the BBB????? No legit company has that many negative reviews.

Hey Charles! Again, the timing of this video is perfect. It has confirmed the feeling that I had with an initial NCSA call - just last week, the confidence to delay the decision to sign up with them now, and provided a strategy as to how to leverage NSCA in the future. Thanks again Charles ... greatly appreciated!

Did you sign up for the NCSA recruiting services? I also got a call from them yesterday.

I got a call from ncsa im skeptical bout em , it shouldnt cost too much to get recruited

NCSA is relatively legit. They contacted me when I went through this with my daughter. We were far along in the recruiting process, so they didn't make a hard push at us.
Gather a list of your preferred schools, ones you have already vetted, that your athlete qualifies academically to attend, and see if they're still eager to work with you.
You're correct; you and your child have put in all of the time and work, and it shouldn't be this difficult or expensive to get over the finish line.
Best of Luck

[@shlepmessing8703]

College coaches want to hear from kids... not parents or recruiting services.

@@shlepmessing8703 I'm getting a lot of pushback on this video. My interaction was back in 2009, and it was $900 for their mid-tier offer, basically added to the database, a set number of phone calls with an 'advisor', but not a personal case worker actively seeking opportunities on my behalf.
I always compare the cost of attending college without the athletic scholarship money against the service cost. I admit to turning down the service, mainly because we already had a few good opportunities. But I had it in the back of my mind, and I might try it if the opportunities didn't pan out.
Please utilize our AthleticSOS software, find schools that meet your needs and your student-athlete qualifies to attend, reach out to them and let them know you're interested and where you're competing, and see if that works out for you. If not, please think about using one of the services, give them the list of schools you've researched, and see if they can get you in one of them.
My research shows that their full-service option can now cost up to $3,000. Do you know if this is true? As always, do what's best for your family.
Please let me know if I can help you. Best of luck, Charles
