Volleyball

Every year over 1000 colleges award scholarships to female volleyball players. Volleyball is one of the most popular college sports for women and attracts a lot of public interest. Due to the high level of media interest, there is a large amount of financial support available. It is also possible for men to receive scholarships; however there are only 50 universities that award them.

Timing
The best time to go to the USA on a sports scholarship is straight after you finish school. College coaches prefer to give scholarships to younger students, as it enables them to continually train and improve a player’s performance over a period of four years. It is also possible to go to the US for just one year. Due to the contact we have to a large number of college coaches we have been able to help athletes after they have completed their Bachelor to do their Master in the USA. The best timing is if you contact us about one year before you plan to start studying in the USA. Volleyball players can start studying either at the Spring Semester (January) or the Fall Semester (August).

Requirements

Female players must have played in the Upper League, the regional League or the 2^nd National League.
Male players should belong to teams which are either in the Regional League or the 2^nd National League. However coaches often choose their players according to potential, so if you have been injured or not in the sport that long you still have a chance.

Training
We are in constant contact with the coaches and we know the strengths and weaknesses of the individual training programs. As a rule you will have daily training in the gym integrated with 3 -4 units of weight and fitness, this makes the training program more intensive than in Germany.
With our help you can choose the college that fits your individual requirements. Our knowledge and contacts help us to help you to make this decision.

Competing
The games are something special. The atmosphere in the gym is amazing and the stands are usually full. You will feel like a professional player. The season for the women starts in the fall as it does in Germany. The men’s season starts in the spring.
Due to injury of players already in the team it is possible to get scholarships six months after the season starts.
The highlight of the season is the National championships.
