NCSA (Next College Student Athlete) is the largest athletic recruiting network, and yes - coaches really use it to find student athletes. This online platform helps create a recruitment matching system that allows high school athletes to determine their best college options. Students can create a public profile to display their athletic talents, so that scouts can find them. Through this process and future conversations, students can learn about their likelihood for admissions and financial aid for their top sports programs at universities around the country.
