Announcing USRowing’s New Partner, NCSA College Recruiting

USRowing is thrilled to announce our partnership with Next College Student Athlete (NCSA), a college recruiting service that allows athletes to continue the sport they love beyond high school and provide top of the line communication for families throughout the recruiting process.

The NCSA recruiting platform provides student-athletes the best chance of a successful recruiting journey with the network, tools, and experience to identify and connect each student-athlete with right-fit schools. The platform has the widest exposure and access to college coaches, best-fit matching recommendations, and personalized coaching to guide student-athletes through the recruiting process.

Athletes will access NCSA by opting in and submitting data through the new athlete profile in the USRowing member portal. Each time a youth athlete who has opted into this partnership updates their erg performance, anthropometric information, or academic information, they will automatically be sent to NCSA to ensure the athlete is being recruited from their personal best results.

"We are excited to offer our youth athletes this tool for success at the collegiate level," said Amanda Kraus, USRowing CEO. "We truly believe that rowing is a lifelong sport, and the journey shouldn't have to end in high school. Athletes who want to row in college should have that opportunity. NCSA allows us to support that journey and also help parents navigate this complicated process and time."

To opt-into NCSA, log into your USRowing member profile, click Edit Profile, and scroll to the Collegiate Recruiting section to enroll.
