Recruiting

Roughly 6% of all high school volleyball players will play at the collegiate level (NCAA High School to College study here). Many girls dream of reaching that level and it is our mission to equip our athletes by teaching them the game to improve as much as possible so they can not only get to that level, but thrive once there.
