Has anyone used NCSA for athletic recruiting?

Yes, but they also played club ball, on good teams. And more males from our school end up at selective D3s than D1s. Here we are seeing the best athletes (making broad brush strokes) choose other sports than soccer…notably lacrosse.

Some of the very best soccer players by us opt out of playing HS, and only play club…some of those have gone on to play d1 as well. I know a couple of those families, and part of the reason is that, although probably good enough to play varsity as a freshman, the coach would be unlikely to let that happen. But that’s boys soccer…again, it’s so different by sport here, and I assume elsewhere.

@Mwfan1921 This is starting to pique my interest.

What state are we talking about? Is this a public or private school? How many students attend this high school?

My son attends a large public school with 2,000+ students. The boys soccer team perennially makes the state tournament in the top division, and frequently does quite well. No soccer player in the last 10+ years has ever gone D1 that didn’t play varsity all four years.
