We began our relationship with NCSA during Nathan’s sophomore year. That year he started as an outfielder on the varsity baseball team at Boca Raton Community High School in Boca Raton, Florida. In ’08 the team was one of the top 32 Florida 6A public high school programs. Nathan had always been a successful student posting a high grade point average. We knew the search for the right college may lead us beyond our limited knowledge of what may be available to him. NCSA proved to be a one of our wisest partnerships. The NCSA coaches guided us to realistic possibilities and gave us the support and information we needed to be properly equipped throughout the process.
Because of NCSA’s help we received two very good athletic scholarship offers. Both were from quality schools and both offers were from schools that my wife and I had never heard of before, they only came to us as a result of our partnership with NCSA.
After listening to parents of athletes from our high school that had partnered with other recruiting organizations and scouts and had terrible experiences, we counted ourselves very fortunate to have found a professional, trustworthy college scouting organization that fulfilled all their promises to us and supported us throughout the process. We were provided tools by NCSA that gave us the edge when communicating with college coaches so that we could accurately represent our son and ask the right questions.
Next year Nathan will be attending Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa to play baseball and gain a quality education at a very fine school. We believe this could have not gone as smoothly if we did not have a partnership with NCSA. They gave us the tools and we did the work. They did their job and we as parents did our job - but without the tools they provided, we couldn’t have effectively searched and visited colleges or made a properly informed decision.
