Complaint Review: NCSA Scouting

Buyers beware before signing your child up for NCSA Sports or NCSA Scouting.  NCSA tells a real great story to get you to sign up for their services, but once you are in, what you get is not worth a fraction of what you paid in my opinion.

We paid nearly $1,500 to NCSA as they promised on the recruiting (sales pitch) phone call they they were the TOP site for collegiate rowing recruitment and could heklp get our son recruited.  NCSA said that all of the collegiate rowing coaches visit their website to recruit student athletes.  

We spoke to the scouting agent (sales person) over the phone and went through the list of things they were going to help him with. We agreed that is sounding amazing )based upon what we know know to be a sales pitch).

He recieved one email from them to set up the account than a second informing about a seminar to watch. Then no contact. 

THE TRUTH.  My sons profile on NCSA had very little traffic (4 at the time of our first complaint), however on the FREE website GetRecruited had many profile views which created contact with Ivy Leage and other rowing coaches.

We gave NCSA a negative survey review, to which someone contacted us via text.  I aksed for a time to speak and received ZERO reply.

I issued a chargeback as no services were delivered, however because of the strong NCSA agreement you sign online the chargeback was denied. In my opinion NCSA is a 100% Total Waste of Money.

While I may have lost the money I paid NCSA, it is my hope that those who are looking to hire NCSA for their child, read this negative NCSA review and Ripoff Report for NCSA and save their money.

In my opinion, there are many alternatives to NCSA that will provide a better result.  Hopefully my review will stand out and you make an informed decision before choosing NCSA.   I wish I did the research about NCSA ahead of time.
