Next College Student Athlete (NCSA)

College Recruiting and Scholarships

The Thunderhawks have partnered with Next College Student Athlete (NCSA), a for-profit organization that connects middle and high school student-athletes with college coaches for recruitment and scholarship opportunities.

NCSA offers a comprehensive solution by educating student-athletes and their parents about the college recruiting process, providing each student-athlete with his/her online recruiting profile, and access to NCSA Athletic Recruiting scouts who seek opportunities for the student-athlete based upon their personal goals and objectives.

Why NCSA?

NCSA is the world's largest and most experienced college recruiting network, and has helped more than 150,000 student-athletes make commitments to the colleges of their choice for over 20 years.

NCSA's online recruiting profile allows student-athletes to connect with a network of over 35,000 college coaches from thousands of colleges and universities.

When to Start?

Elite Thunderhawk athletes are recommended to start their NCSA profile before the end of their 8th grade year. While coaches are prohibited from contacting the student-athletes until their sophomore year, the student-athlete can begin curating their profile with a few years worth of personal records, photos, videos, and other information that could capture the interest of college coaches.
