College Recruiting

Interested in Playing at the Next Level?

 Our in-house recruiting service is being run by a previous college player! Below is our detailed approach to getting more Blazers playing at the next level! Contact Coach Parker to get started today!


Step 1: Gather the following information to assist us in finding schools that fit your needs

  • GPA
  • Interested Major(s)
  • ACT/SAT Scores (if applicable)
  • States/Regions you’d be interested in going to college in
  • Position(s) you want to play in college
  • Identify the level of player you are 
  • List of schools you are interested in attending


Step 2: Provide the Checklist to Blazer Recruiting Coordinators

Once our coaches have this list, we will create a Google Drive folder for you to use throughout the process. Included in here will be: 

  • Google Sheet with information and a list of colleges you are interested in and that we have found for you using our ConnectVolleyball website platform and other coaching connections our club has to provide a list of schools for you
  • Introductory email template to use when contacting coaches (PROOFREAD EMAIL PRIOR TO SENDING)


Step 3: Meet with Recruiting Coordinators to review list of schools

Once you meet with our coaches, they will provide you with the steps on how to start your college recruiting process. The process will be as follows: 

  • Fill out the Prospective Student-Athlete form on the college or university’s website
  • Send an introductory email to coaches using the template provided or create your own email telling the coach you are interested and have filled out the Prospective Student-Athlete questionnaire on the school’s website 
  • Track the contact date/response date in the Google Drive folder provided to you at the beginning of the process 


Step 4: College Coach Responses

  • As college coaches respond, document the information provided as well as any other notes that you may have. Don’t be afraid to reach out to your coach for help responding to coach emails.
