Other Notes:
We do our best to run quality, professional events which are attractive to both teams, players, and college coaches.
Our events are in smaller venues and designed for optimal observation
We provide the college coaches with a very thorough, complete and detailed 225+ page event program.
On average you can expect around 15-20 NCAA coaches during your session.
2011 NICS had around 30+ NCAA coaches
2010 NOCS had over 25 colleges and universities represented
2010 NICS had 40+ NCAA coaches
Our events have average 25 universities/colleges
Coaches sign in at our events so we know who has actually attended
Colleges and Universities represented at our Events: American, Bryant University,Bryn Mawr, Cornell, Desales University, Drexel, Gettysburg, Gwynedd Mercy, Haverford, Kings College, Kutztown University, Lehigh, Longwood, Manhattanville, Moravian College, Muhlenberg College, Penn, Princeton, Providence, RPI, Rutgers, Saint Joe's, Stevens Institute of Technology, Syracuse, Temple, University of Delaware, Villanova, Virginia Wesleyan, Washington College, Washington and Lee, West Chester, William and Mary, Lafayette and a few others that didn’t sign in. A list of college coaches who have registered to date can be downloaded here as we move closer to the event. Players are encouraged to be pro-active in their college search process and inform college programs and coaches of their participation in the NOCS.
We cannot incent or pay coaches in anyway to come or come for a certain length of time. Because the event is organized with 7v7 play and small teams, with many touches, coaches will come and go when they think they have seen all that each player can offer. Some coaches may come for 2 hours, while some may feel the need to come from 9am-2pm. Each coach has a different recruiting style. We make our events as efficient as possible. The coaches don't have to cover 20 fields and don't even have to move from their seat to see you more than you might be seen over a 3 day large scale event. On average the majority of coaches come from 9:00am to 2:00pm.
