NCSA College Recruiting Partners With
Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools
NCSA College Recruiting, the world’s largest and most successful college athletic recruiting network, announced a strategic partnership with the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS).
NCSA and TAPPS will work together to ensure TAPPS student-athletes, families, school administrators and coaches have the valuable tools and resources needed to navigate the recruiting process.
NCSA will host informational events at TAPPS schools throughout the year for student-athletes and families, as well as provide quarterly webinars for school administrators on the recruiting process. In addition, NCSA will attend TAPPS Regional and State Championships to help the student-athletes begin the recruiting process along with attending TAPP’s annual convention where they will offer educational recruiting sessions for athletic directors, administrators and coaches. TAPPS coaches will also have free 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.
“At NCSA, we’re constantly striving to better serve student-athletes, families, coaches and school administrators,” said NCSA President Lisa Strasman. “Our partnership with TAPPS will allow us to continue our comprehensive approach to recruiting, simultaneously reaching each audience and providing support throughout each phase of the recruiting process.”
As the major governing body of private schools in the state of Texas, TAPPS works to organize and encourage athletic, academic and fine arts programs for over 40,000 students at more than 230 private and parochial schools across the state.
“This partnership brings great value to our association. NCSA will offer direction and support to student-athletes and families as well as coaches and administrators,” said TAPPS Associate Director Steve Prud'homme. “Our schools are renown for producing well rounded individuals. Year after year, we see TAPPS student-athletes become valued members of college programs. NCSA and TAPPS will be working together to create even greater opportunities.”
Founded in 2000 to help educate student-athletes and their families on the college athletic recruiting process, NCSA combines proprietary technology with specialized recruiting experts to offer a comprehensive approach to every phase of the recruiting process.
