RECRUITING

If you're serious about playing volleyball in college, I can guide you through building a strong recruiting profile, reaching out to coaches, and understanding NCAA eligibility requirements.

Are you currently in the recruiting process, or just starting to explore your options? I’d love to help you strategize!

As a high school athlete at Infinity Volleyball Club, you will be offered several options to assist in finding the best college opportunities best fit for you!

Each athlete and family will need to do the following in this process:

  • Collaborate with the Directors of Recruiting: This adds a strategic advantage for athletes.
  • Explore additional recruiting agencies: The phrasing encourages players to make informed choices.


At Infinity the Directors of Recruiting will work along side of the athlete through the recruiting process while you take the lead. We will provide the following assistance:

When can college coaches contact you?

Both NCAA Division 1 and Division 2 volleyball coaches can begin contacting high school athletes on June 15 after their sophomore year. At this time, they may extend verbal offers and communicate through emails, texts, instant messages, and phone calls.


ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY

The NCAA Eligibility Center verifies the academic and amateur status of all student-athletes who wish to compete in Division I or II athletics.

Division I & II Requirements

  • Graduate from high school.
  • Complete 16 core courses (both divisions now require 16).
  • Maintain a minimum GPA in core courses.
  • Earn a qualifying ACT or SAT score.
  • Request final amateurism certification from the NCAA Eligibility Center.

For Division I athletes enrolling from August 2016 onward, additional requirements include:

  • At least a 2.3 GPA in core courses.
  • Meeting an increased sliding-scale standard (e.g., an SAT score of 1,000 requires a 2.5 GPA).
  • Completing 10 of the 16 core courses before senior year, with seven in English, math, and science.

Division III & NAIA

  • Division III schools set their own academic requirements—contact the college directly.
  • NAIA schools have separate eligibility rules, so reaching out to the institution is the best approach.


What is the difference between NCAA divisions, NAIA, & JUCO?

  • NCAA Division I: 12 Full ride scholarships (usually a yearly commitment)​
  • NCAA Division II: 8 Full ride scholarships or equivalency of.
  • NCAA Division III: Financial packages can be offered based on academics.​
