NJCAA introduces partnership with NCSA
NCSA named Official North America Recruiting Partner of the NJCAA
Charlotte, NC – The NJCAA has announced a partnership with Next College Student Athlete (NCSA) to become the Official North America Recruiting Partner of the NJCAA. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, NCSA is the world's largest and most successful college athletic recruiting network.
With the agreement, NCSA will grant NJCAA member institutions access to NCSA's team recruiting platform, Team Edition which allows coaches to track and help guide their athletes' college recruitment process with easy-to-use software. Team Edition provides exposure to athletes and teams, connecting users to NCSA's database of more than 35,000 college coaches across 34 sports.
"Our goal at NCSA is to always help student-athletes find their best college fit – athletically, academically, socially and financially," said NCSA President Lisa Strasman. "For many student-athletes, the perfect fit may be at a two-year college. We are excited to partner with the NJCAA to not only help high school athletes looking to compete at the next level, but to help NJCAA student-athletes looking to continue their college careers at a four-year school."
This partnership with NCSA is part of a broader relationship with NCSA parent company, Reigning Champs. In addition to support from NCSA, all NJCAA programs will receive access to user-friendly recruiting and compliance software from from Front Rush, also part of Reigning Champs. Front Rush works with more than 9,500 college teams at over 950 institutions to help college coaches improve their recruiting processes and have the best experience possible.
"The NJCAA is proud to partner with NCSA to promote the two-year college route," stated Dr. Christopher Parker, NJCAA President & CEO. "Education is key to providing the best opportunities and NCSA delivers this vital service to student-athletes entering the NJCAA and those transferring to four-year institutions."
Founded in 2000 to help educate student-athletes and their families on the college athletic recruiting process, NCSA today works with families, club, high school and college coaches to helps hundreds of thousands of student-athletes find their best college fit.
