Win a Free Recruiting Event for Your High School
March 23rd, 2009 - byBased on demand from high school coaches and families around the country, NCSA is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking contest aimed at educating the masses!NCSA will be providing a FREE “College Recruiting Simplified” Event at 50 deserving high schools nationwide in an effort to educate student-athletes, parents, high school coaches, and administrators. In addition to the need for education, we also realize that with the current economy, more student-athletes than ever are attempting to use athletics as a vehicle for a college education…but most do not know how to make that happen.
What is “College Recruiting Simplified?”
College Recruiting Simplified (CRS) is a critically acclaimed educational workshop explaining the five things that every student-athlete needs to know and the five things they must do in order to get recruited. CRS has been requested at more than 4,000 high schools, camps, combines, including those sponsored by ESPN Rise, Nike, Cal South, U.S. Army, and many others. Every CRS is presented by a member of NCSA’s celebrated Recruiting Expert Roster which includes former professional athletes, college coaches, award winning authors and journalists, and Olympians and normally requires a $500 fee. Chances are some of our readers have had the good fortune of experiencing a CRS event and this is your opportunity to be a hometown hero and help everyone else in your community get educated! Read what coaches and athletic directors have said about CRS. 
Who is eligible to enter the contest?
Anyone! Student-athletes, parents, teachers, high school coaches, athletic directors…basically, anyone and everyone who is passionate about ensuring student-athletes are put in the best possible situation to maximize their athletic scholarship potential.
Be sure to forward this to friends, family members, co-workers, teammates…ANYONE!
How can I enter?
