The National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA) was founded in 2000 by Chris Krause, a former full-ride scholarship football player at Vanderbilt University, with a two-pronged mission: To provide a means for college coaches at every level to find the recruits best suited for their programs and to educate high school student athletes and their families about the college recruiting process.
Since 2000, NCSA has grown quickly to be the leading collegiate recruiting source for more than 35,000 college coaches across the country. NCSA's experienced scouting team helps student athletes gain acceptance to the collegiate program that best fits their needs.
We use a high tech approach to monitor the specific wants and needs of college coaches and matches student athletes with the appropriate collegiate opportunities that will allow them to succeed at the next level.
NCSA's high tech approach includes our Recruit-Match™ database, which helps us track more than 100,000 of the top high school student athletes in the country. The Recruit-Match™ database also houses permission-based contact information and recruiting standards and requirements of coaches at more than 1,700 colleges and universities in more than 25 men's and women's sports.
NCSA believes in providing opportunities for all qualified student athletes, regardless of economic status. Every year, NCSA enrolls hundreds of underprivileged student athletes through corporate sponsors and private grants.
