Everyone believes their kid is special. Some companies seize this with gurantees ect. Bottom line is you have to be a stand out to get recruited. No magic formula, no program can get around that.

[@firstdowntraining]

100% agree- thank you for the insight!

[@davidwilson6651]

Thanks for the info, I was scheduled with my son for one of those hour long phone calls. I was a bit skeptical & after watching your video - even more so.

[@firstdowntraining]

No problem at all, glad this could give you some insight!

[@makebamagambo2128]

How does one cancel the payments with NCSA ? I think they are a scam.

[@ericherrera123]

Great info brother! This is a very emotional time for families and it seems some people want to capitalize on it.

So one of the Ncsa workers called me when I signed up for a club in my district and they basically scanned me into paying 2K is there anyway I could get a refund or help?

Awesome to hear man, hope this was able to help you!

thanks for the heads up. I was about to sign my daughter up for NCSA, but felt hesitant about the service. I was wondering if it was a money grab with minimal return.

Do you have any drills to be able to catch contested balls better as a WR

Hey coach, I am a soccer player from Pakistan, as I want to better my chances of competing at the highest level, I want to play college soccer in the US (as my academics are strong). In my research, the four-letter service reached out to me multiple times about what they could offer. As I don't know a lot about the process and don't really have a lot of leads, what would you do in my situation as an athlete?

[@firstdowntraining]

So honestly man, I probably wouldn’t be the best player to ask about soccer. I think playing club soccer is important from what I’ve heard from other soccer coaches and guys who I have trained that have played. And I would reach out to a club coach, he can help you better than I can

[@imaaduddin255]

@@firstdowntraining Alright, I got it. Thanks for the response!

[@goldie_box2904]

This is facts. They son’t know your kid from a can of paint. I received an invite from them about a camp to a D3 college. Never heard of the University & decided that my son would go as a 1st camp experience. My son wasn’t feeling the camp & the head coach didn’t know about route running. The coaches was surpised to even see a kid from my area.

[@firstdowntraining]

100% agree- I’ve been told this same story probably 100 times and it honestly bums me out.

[@zuaew5793]

Hello, I honestly didn't understand your video because I don't know much English, but when I read the comments I realized it. So I'm just going to start playing football outside the USA (Mexico) and I'm going to graduate from high school. What advice would you give me and do you think I can play college football in the USA? good video 🥳👍

[@firstdowntraining]

Yeah you definitely can, you need to make sure you get highlights from actual games. College coaches can’t take you seriously without film. So make sure someone films all of your games or pay someone to film your games. But you need a highlight tape to stand out to coaches

[@user-sz8kt4sz7g]

Hey coach I'm a 13 year old who wants to play college football and possibly in the NFL and I was wondering how I could get recruited without using those recruit apps

[@firstdowntraining]

Just need to be a baller man. At the end of the day that’s what really matters. Like if you’re THAT good, I’m talking D1 level and potential NFL, it is so damn noticeable. Everyone will use the excuse of “oh well I’m from a small town” - even if you’re from a small town and you have a highlight tape that shows you can make those types of D1 level plays, coaches will know about you. I recommend making a Twitter account and posting content there to get a social media presence, follow college coaches and interact with coaches on the app. All it takes is one coach or scout to see you and it changes everything. But the social media stuff doesn’t matter if you don’t have the skills to back it up

[@user-sz8kt4sz7g]

[@mr.skelly199]

Hey I just have a question, I got a call from NCSA yesterday explaining their recruiting service, and etc. I was thinking about it until I watched your video on youtube, so I told them like hey i’m going to cancel on the meeting on sunday. That’s until I asked how much the service would cost and they said it wouldn’t cost anything, it just allows college coaches to notice you. What should i do?

[@devincomiskey3482]

Run away. As someone who got ripped off for a few thousand dollars last year. They're fucking useless.

[@firstdowntraining]

So honestly they do that so they can just get your info, then sell it off to colleges and then you will get these spam emails from schools you have never heard of claiming that you have been “invited” to their camp. When thousands got the same email. They do that so they can then pitch you on the service that costs, this is my experience with it. If you want to do it, fine but I don’t think it’s needed

[@56Films]

Just had 'recruiting' chat with NCSA - your video is spot on. Should have watched it before and wouldn't have wasted 1.5 hours :)

[@firstdowntraining]

Thank you very much for sharing and watching!

[@fortunetorto9095]

We also did the 1 hour long meeting., but what i dont understand is NCSA is it a scam or genuine. is it the right route to take or not. please help

[@firstdowntraining]

Personally I don’t think it is. Don’t know if you watched the whole video on this but that is my personal opinion.

[@PM2410.]

I got a invite and I play baseball do you think I should do it

[@firstdowntraining]

No I wouldn’t-if you’re talking about NCSA I would avoid

[@Mienjacko]

Hello sir my friend is in contact with the NCSA and they ask $2960 before find him the right school for soccer. I need your help.

Yeah I wouldn’t do that, not worth it

[@makebamagambo2128]

@@firstdowntrainingthey took $178 last month and charged it again even after I cancelled the card. I’m waiting for a refund. I could not cancel my account so I changed names and blocked unsubscribed. They are scammers. I called and the lady was rude. She said I signed and I can check in four months and they can take a lower payment. She was rude. I called her out and said they are scammers. She was offended. I hung up after I told her we are no longer interested and we don’t have the money.

[@gaiahubbard5659]

Thank you for your great advice! I was filling out my 8th grader son's Athletic clearance for high school and a NCSA window popped up as if it was part of the legit high school paperwork. Within half day we got caught in a 45 minutes long phone call and got set up for a second call ( on Mother's Day!!!). When this services are so quick to try to get you without leaving you the time to think it's always a concerning scam alert. BTW costs of membership were between 1800 - 6000+ dollars. The guy was calling from his home with a virtual background...

[@firstdowntraining]

No problem at all, glad this could help you!

[@devincomiskey3482]

I agree. We got suckered in by NCSA. This is our first go-round through recruiting for hockey for my daughter. To say we got ripped off is an understatement. They're USELESS.

how so? did you try to cancel or anything?

What about Internacional students looking for scholarships?

[@firstdowntraining]

If you search up “first down training how international players can get offers” we posted a video on that 2 weeks ago! Will help a lot

[@Pkicker3]

Exactly those recruitment sites are not the way to go. The fact is most athletes end up D3 so why waste the money, and you are right no one is going to promote a player who can’t cut it , because it cheapens a legit player later on.

[@firstdowntraining]

100% and these companies don’t actually do any promotion

Hey Coach, your content is outstanding. This is another example of how you are helping student athletes make good decisions on and off the field. I know you'll be in Philly this year, but do you have any plans on coming to New Jersey in the near future?

Dang bro

[@bother.g]

We called this one woman from ncsa, and she put a lot of emphasis on the fact the kid was late and desperately needed to "catch up" and that the only way we could do that was by paying money for them. Tried to nicely hang up a couple times but she kept going on about how we could regret this many years into the future. Had to pretend I was wholeheartedly convinced before she let me hang up. Total scam, super weird.

[@zuko_fraggs]

@@ashleyburrell505same for me

[@breckenjaeger9824]

I am a 9th grader swimmer and I was told I was behind the 8 ball saying I should have coach’s reaching out already. But coachs can’t reach out too you till after your 10th grade year (for swimming idk about other sports). It is weird and I really believe they just want the money. P.S. I know this a football channel and I’m a swimmer I was varsity as a freshman. So idk what the difference is between sports experiences but they all are always trying to sell you and just do your research.

[@JoeDaveycrockettsoundlabs]

They offered my kid a Free Membership based on the story I told of his past. Any harm if it’s free? Seems like a LinkedIn kinda thing. LinkedIn won’t get me a job but at least all my stuff in one place. Totally new to this recruiting world though and really appreciate the video.

[@firstdowntraining]

The free membership is fine.. but I’ll tell you what will happen… you will get a bunch of spam emails claiming you have been “invited” to xyz camp and it’s not a real invite. Thousands of players got the same email so just beware. Could it be good to attend some of the camps, maybe but your info is now on a list that was sent out to a bunch of organizations and colleges. So just know that going in and you will be fine

[@JoeDaveycrockettsoundlabs]

@@firstdowntraining Excellent heads up. We can be choosy about camps. How do we spot a quality camp then? We live a bike ride from UO so we plan to attend what we can there for sure. I suppose this will also be a good time to teach the kid about “Unsubscribe” and email filters for his inbox. Haha.

[@mohsinkhan6620]

I got a call yesterday and it went well, until i was told i have to pay $3000 for them to help get me recruited. I hung up and blocked the number and after watching your video I can be fully satisfied in saying I made the right decision. So if this is a scam what is the REAL way to make it in collage soccer? and how are these top people making it to D1 schools

[@firstdowntraining]

So honestly man, I’m not a soccer guy in an sense of the sport. However I think the club team you play on and the tournaments you play on is how you get recruited. This is just what I’ve heard, I could be completely wrong because like I said- I’m not a soccer guy
