College Volleyball Recruiting Information & Advice, Training Tips and More

Welcome to Inside College Volleyball!

This blog was created to support the book, Inside College Volleyball. If this is the first time you’re hearing about the book, or would like more information, visit this site’s home page for details. It was written to help high school players and their families (and their club and high school coaches, for that matter) navigate the oftentimes confusing waters of the college volleyball recruiting process.

This blog provides readers of the book with an additional resource (along with the author’s blog) to help them along the way. There will be articles and opinion pieces as something of a backbone. Topics related to college volleyball recruiting will, of course, be the main focus, but there are likely to be discussions of training, play, and the general college volleyball experience as well.

Of course we can’t forget the Q&A!

Since everyone’s experience with the college volleyball recruiting process is slightly different, and somewhat personal, there are always going to be questions that come up which aren’t specifically addressed in the book (though lots of them are). This blog is a place where those questions can be answered.

If you have a question for the author or the editor, feel free to submit it using the contact form. We’d love to hear from you.

This blog will also keep you up-to-date on the latest news and developments regarding Inside College Volleyball. Look for posts on things like new editions being made available, book reviews, updates on the author, and stuff like that.

Oh, and least we forget, you can also keep tabs on things by checking us out on Facebook and following us on Twitter.

A must have book for volleyball families

Inside College Volleyball is a valuable resource for Volley Families and a must have for anyone navigating the college recruiting process. One of the more valuable sections for volleyball PSA’s (potential student athletes) is the recruiting timeline where the Coach details what the PSA should be doing each year of high school to gain attention from college coaches. But with this timeline also comes the advice to enjoy these years as a player or parent and be sure to have fun along the way!

The Coach discusses the differences in D1, D2, D3, and Junior Colleges in the world of college volleyball. He goes over NCAA rules and compliance in such issues as contact with coaches, quiet periods, official visits, unofficial visits, and the National Letter of Intent. He also discusses the best scenario for committing to a college and cautions not to rush into something that doesn’t feel right to the PSA. Parents–take note!

There is a wealth of advice from the Coach which will save Volley Families a lot of time and trouble, and most importantly will help the PSA achieve her dream of playing college volleyball. In most cases PSA’s must expect to initiate contact with college coaches, and by all means, include video! He suggests having your daughter evaluated by a high school or college coach to see where her skill level and height would realistically place her in college volleyball, and then research those options. And if a family needs help with the process, the Coach recommends using a reputable recruiting service.

I also appreciated the sections of the book which focused on volleyball skills, rules and changes in the world of college volleyball. The sections on in-season and out of season training and how to maintain balance as a college athlete were also helpful. As the parent of a senior who has committed to a D3 school in Virginia, I am a huge fan of this book and think it’s a must read for Volley Families!
