Depends on the sport

My two older soccer-playing sons had NCSA accounts (offered for free as part of tournament registrations with their travel clubs) that I would identify as being marginally useful. We never paid for any of the "premium" services but I think they did have some interactions with a few programs as part of their recruiting experiences that may have been related to it. IMO fieldlevel.com is a bit more valuable from a soccer perspective. We didn't shell out any $$ for that profile service either. But my second born did get quite a bit of contact from programs at all levels from it. Both are places where kids can upload videos. If they can accumulate some decent/impressive highlights then they might be somewhat useful. But as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, most programs have definite algorithms in place that guide their recruiting efforts which have no obvious connection to these kind of sites.
