Volleyball Scholarship Support



It is important that high school volleyball players play& club volleyball and beach if available. The high school season coincides with the college season so most coaches actually recruit during the club season. A lot of college coaches recruit players at Junior Olympic tournaments, national qualifiers and regional tournaments.

Not all athletic scholarships are full ride like football and basketball, so called "head count" sports; most are classed as "equivalency" sports, like volleyball This means that coaches can" share" their allocation between a larger number of players. Women's volleyball is classed as a "head count" sport and 12 FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIPS are awarded by each college in division 1 and 8 in division 2. The NAIA allows 12.& This works out to about 7500 volleyball scholarships that are available for girls.
