Recently we spoke with several University Coaches and we copulated several key factors in being recruited for a Volleyball Scholarship.
*Start preparing your potential student/athlete in the 9th grade by explaining the core GPA and the NCAA process. Register at the beginning of their junior year with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Keep constant tabs on their transcript and daily grades.
*Build a resume of sports accomplishments and awards as well as community service and inter-scholastic activities and honors. Save it in your computer and update it with everything they have accomplished each month. This resume should be sent to college coaches. This allows them to see the student/athlete as a person that is active and has good character.
*Choose a few good sports photos to have on hand to send with your resume and other sports related scholarships that they may apply for, such as state sportsmanship scholarships for example.
*Form good relationships with high school and club coaches; remember they will give the final recommendation on your skills and abilities.
*Play other sports in high school, it’s good for you and makes you a more appealing athlete.
*Fill out all sports questionnaires, even to schools you may not attend. It’s a small world and coaches change jobs every day and may remember you.
* Get your name and accomplishments out there - they felt that a player profile is a great way to get your name out and have pledged to read our periodicals.
