How to Get Recruited to Play College Volleyball

Playing college volleyball is the dream of many players around the world. To be considered for one of the select few spots on a college roster, there are a few things to consider that can help increase your chances.

Here are some details to pay attention to:

1. Fundamentals -
Obviously, physical ability and attributes of height, or coordination are out of one's control to some extent. Work tirelessly on the things that ARE in your control. Passing, setting, spiking, digging, and serving are all skills that can be practiced over and over again- not just during practice time, but before and after practice. If you want to be in the elite number of players, you have to put in the effort that those players are making. If you are resting, there are many others who are working for that spot on the college team.

2. Visibility -
If you are extremely good, scouts will find YOU. If you're good, they come to you. If you are more of a middle of the pack player that wants to be noticed, visibility is the key. One way to get on the scout radar is to play for club or "select" teams that travel. Another way to be seen is to go to camps that are put on by the universities for which you have an interest in playing. If you can't travel, sending a highlight DVD to different coaches, along with a student resume could make the difference in being noticed. If the colleges you are interested in are local, invite coaches (assistants in many cases) to come watch you in a letter that includes a season schedule.

3. Character -
This is the most OVERLOOKED element. Nearly every college coach starts a recruiting conversation by asking about what kind person he or she really is. How one responds under pressure to teammates, coaches, and opponents can be a HUGE indicator to college coaches whether or not they want you to represent them. Coaches can change techniques and teach additional skills, it is much harder to make someone a good teammate if they are already inclined to the contrary. Unselfishness, a teachable spirit, and positively interacting with others is a big piece of athletic desirability. Team sports always expose character or a lack of it.

By following these basic concepts, high school players can make themselves more visible to college coaches and can give themselves a chance to play the sport they love competitively for another four years.
