The American Baseball Coaches Association is proud to announce Next College Student Athlete (NCSA), the largest collegiate athlete recruiting network in the country, as one of its new official partners. NCSA is the leading NCAA-compliant recruiting network, connecting student-athletes with college coaches. NCSA joins the ABCA as a Single Partner.
“We are thrilled to begin our partnership with NCSA,” said ABCA Executive Director Craig Keilitz. “Recruiting is a major element of college athletics, and NCSA provides an outstanding service to coaches and student-athletes across the country. In addition, our coaches will have the opportunity to hear from NCSA at this year's Expo Theater during our Convention Trade Show."
“We feel incredibly honored to become an official partner of the ABCA,” said NCSA Director of Baseball Nelson Gord. “It’s the advent of a special relationship that will greatly benefit the college, high school, and club coaches that are a part of our national pastime’s greatest coaching association.”
On Friday, Jan. 5 at the 2018 ABCA Convention in Indianapolis, NCSA will present “How Technology is Changing the Recruiting Game” at the Expo Theater in the ABCA Trade Show Exhibit Hall. The Expo Theater features presentations from ABCA Partners, exhibitors and member coaches on a variety of topics and will take place Thursday, Jan. 4 through Saturday, Jan. 6.
