National Scouting Report is on the ground scouting! June 25th through the 29th was an exciting few days. The 30th Annual Volleyball Festival was held in Phoenix, Arizona at the Phoenix Convention Center. The four story venue was spectacular and perfect for such an awesome event. The Festival boasts a rich history of amazing volleyball. Approximately 450 club teams were represented and played a couple of days of pool play followed by a couple of days of tournament play. For the third year in a row, National Scouting Report proudly served as the recruiting arm for The Volleyball Festival. Before The Festival began, National Scouting Report assisted in a showcase for college-bound athletes. During the tournament, NSR hosted ten NCAA / NAIA Recruiting Seminars that were very well attended by parents and athletes alike. Attendees were informed about the “Myths of Recruiting” and NCAA/NAIA rules. At the conclusion of each seminar, there was a question and answer session. All in attendance, left with a great deal of knowledge and information to help their athlete with recruiting decisions.
National Scouting Report was very well represented. Cliff Weeks of Southern California was once again at The Volleyball Festival – Cliff was the original NSR link to The Festival and has done an amazing job cultivating that relationship. Also scouting at The Festival was Stacey Harris (San Francisco, California), Bryant Edleson (San Diego, California), Carissa Kalaba (San Diego, California), Gil Barkey (Denver, Colorado), Ryan Johnston (Phoenix, Arizona), Syndric Steptoe (Tucson, Arizona), Josh and CeCe Kroeger (Birmingham, Alabama), Mary Louise Hunt (Atlanta, Georgia) and Robert and Susan Cagle (Mobile, Alabama).
NSR’s Mary Louise Hunt of Atlanta, Georgia especially enjoyed scouting The Festival as Mary Louise participated as an athlete in the very first Festival event in 1984. Mary Louise recognized and re-acquainted herself with several of The Festival staff. Mary Louise described the event as, “A full circle moment”. Mary Louise and the other scouts saw some tremendous athletes. Athletes from Arizona, California, Alaska, Hawaii, Maryland and Washington to name a few had a great time at The Festival. Bryan Kelley, director of The Festival was hospitable as usual. The meals provided for NSR scouts and college coaches were tremendous. The Volleyball Festival is definitely a first class event. Bryan also directs a sister tournament in Glendale, Arizona in February. The February event is called The Festival Fiesta Classic and is held at the University of Phoenix Stadium. NSR looks forwarding to seeing more great volleyball talent at The Festival Fiesta Classic on January 17-19, 2015.

I am very interested in becoming a volleyball scout for the NSR. I can send more information as needed. I have been very successful in coaching because of my analytical, flexibility in coaching and in evaluating talent. I have had 5 of my student-athletes go to the Naval Academy to play volleyball. I have coached East Coast Scholastic Champions and have several of these student-athletes to on to the college level and play very well.
Please inform me of the expenses involved in this program.
Thank you
