College Softball Scholarships and Recruiting
NCSA Scouting Report
NCSA developed the Scouting Report so that student-athletes may receive evaluations from college coaches quickly and efficiently. Once evaluated, students who hope to earn not only recruiting opportunities, but college softball scholarships, as well, will gain maximum exposure to the schools of their choice. The Scouting Report allows college coaches to have up-to-date athletic and academic information delivered directly to their email boxes.

Q&A with Christina Rankin
NCSA caught up with rising softball star Christina Rankin to talk about her high school career and the opportunity to compete at the next level.
NCSA: What motivates you before a big game?
Rankin: I love to listen to music before a game, nothing in particular, just songs that pump me up.
NCSA: What are you looking forward to if and when you get the opportunity to play softball in college?
Rankin: I am so excited to continue my softball career at a very high level. Winning the conference and going to the post season has always been a dream of mine and realizing I have the opportunity to do that and go to the World Series is the best feeling ever.
NCSA: Why did you get involved in softball?
Rankin: When I was younger I was put into every single sport. Soccer, flag football, softball, golf, basketball, dance... I did it all. When I got older, I started to excel in softball more than the other sports and my love and passion for the sport grew.
NCSA: Tell us about your interactions with college coaches so far.
Rankin: Before I started with NCSA, I was not having a lot of success with coaches emailing or calling me back. I think this was mostly because I was sending emails and calls to the wrong coaches. After my Scouting Report went up, I received so many emails and calls and it was a huge confidence booster. Read More >>
