At the National Collegiate Scouting Association, we scout and recruit for more than 2,100 colleges and universities in 25 sports. High School Athletic Directors and Coaches across the nation assist us in educating families like yours on how to realistically assess your student athletes' collegiate recruiting potential in addition to how and when to begin the process.
To date, we have hosted more than 4,000 "College Recruiting 101" presentations at high schools, clinics, tournaments, and national combines including the U.S. Army All- American Bowl in Texas and the Adidas Elite Football Camps. We have identified more than 100,000 of the nation's top college prospects in 25 different sports. Unfortunately, many qualified student-athletes have not had the opportunity to attend these presentations and therefore have missed out on the opportunity to be considered for a scouting evaluation. In an effort to make sure qualified student-athletes are not overlooked, we invite you to experience excerpts from our national recruiting workshops.
It's time to determine what opportunities are available for your high school athlete at the next level!
