Although many areas still lack opportunities for boys volleyball, there has been a recent push to grow the sport. It’s exciting to see colleges add mens volleyball, as witnessed with the recent NCAA Division III explosion.
As more junior volleyball clubs attempt to add boys volleyball, the next step is to educate the players about the college options that are available for them to continue their careers beyond high school. Here’s a look at the boys volleyball recruiting timeline and what college coaches are looking for in a recruitable student athlete.
Recruiting Timeline
In general, most boys are making their push toward college selection much later than the girls. Boys mature later and a lot of the tallest players aren't finished growing until they are 17 or 18 years old. Don't allow your boys players be discouraged about their college options when sophomore girls at your club are making verbal commitments and they start to feel behind in the process. With that in mind, it's never too early to start looking into potential options.
Sophomore Year
Sophomore year is a good time to start making a list of schools that could potentially be a good fit academically, socially, financially, and athletically. Stopping in for a campus visit and going to camps are obviously the best because you get a feel for the campus, dorms, food, and can potentially meet the coaches and academic staff. There are so few men's programs, we recommend our players visit local schools to get a feel for college campuses even if they don't have volleyball. When you start to look at schools that are further away, you can have a comparison in mind based on the size of the school and urban area.
Junior year
Entering junior year is a great time to become extremely proactive and begin contacting your top 10. Planning visits should become a little more serious. Men's college coaches have limited resources and want to know that you have an interest before spending time and money to come and watch you play. A short unedited game film is great to include in an email to begin the recruitment/selection process.
senior year
During your senior year is when the vast majority of boys volleyball players are making their college decisions. If you've been in contact with a lot of programs, you can definitely find a place to play. Programs contact us searching for seniors who decide that they want to continue their career. Don't wait to be 'discovered', send emails and make phone calls and your hard work will pay off!
