Walking-On To A Program
In 2025, D1 volleyball programs (if they opted into revenue sharing) went from a head counter sport of 12 scholarship athletes, to an equivalency sport with a max of 18 scholarships. Does that mean that all 300+ D1 programs will now have 18 full scholarships available? No. Does it mean that half of the D1 programs will have 18 full scholarships? Probably not.

Playing Outside of your Graduating Class
Originally Posted 8/3/2020* Recruiting is hard. For the top 1% of athletes it doesn't ever seem that way, but for everyone else it can be a real challenge. There are lots of variables that go into a coach's decision to recruit one player over another. One of those variables is the ability to be seen by a coach.
