the volleyball recruiting process

There are over seven million high school student-athletes in the United States. Less than 10% will participate in college sports. That leaves thousands of prep athletes who are good college prospects, but get left out of scholarship opportunities. Why? They and their parents don't understand how college recruiting works, so college coaches never learn about them and the value they could bring to their programs. Will you be recruited or will you be left out too?

Are you receiving letters and questionnaires from college coaches?
Have you registered with the NCAA Eligibility Centers?
Are you academically eligible to be recruited for college sports?
Do you understand the 4 main phases of college recruiting and how they affect you as a potential prospect?
Do you really know where you are in the process?
Have you already invested a great amount of time & money training to be a good athlete, but the results are not paying off because you're still not being recruited?
Are you likely to be overlooked because coaches are not sending you letters and questionnaires?

Testimonials

When my daughter, Emily started her junior year of high school volleyball I was referred by a friend to Kari Chavez with NSR. I contacted Kari to get more information about recruiting since I was very unfamiliar with what was involved. She was very informative and let me know she would not sign up Emily without seeing her play in person. Within a week she drove 4 hours one way to watch one of Emily's games. Kari was very honest letting Emily know she thought she could play at the D3 or NAIA level in College. Emily really wanted to play at the D2 level. Kari let her know what she needed to work on to get to the next level. Emily received extra volleyball training and strength training as Kari recommended and recently Emily committed to a D2 University. I appreciated Kari's honest evaluation and her support throughout the recruiting process. Even though she is 4 hours away from us I feel like she is just down the street. She is always quick to respond to a phone call, text or email. I couldn't be happier with Kari and NSR and the whole recruiting experience.

My name is Kelly Cameron and I am a 12th grade setter/right side. I play club volleyball for Elevation Volleyball Club and I committed to the University at Albany to play volleyball. My NSR Scout is Sheila Thiery. The biggest challenge I was facing with recruiting prior to working with NSR was figuring out the best ways to connect with college coaches and get them interested in me. In a matter of weeks, I had numerous college coaches showing interest in me. One of the biggest eye openers about recruiting that I learned from NSR was that college coaches don't just come to you. You must work at getting them to contact you and sometimes it will be frustrating, but you must be patient. What I liked best about working with Sheila and NSR was that Sheila always made herself available to me and encouraged me to call or text her whenever. But on the other hand she always made an effort to contact me and ask how everything was going. If you're a student athlete serious about playing in college, I would highly recommend contacting Sheila Thiery at NSR Ohio, so she can help guide and your family through this process and open up opportunities for you, like she did for me!

As parents of a high school athlete, it was important for us to support our daughter in her goal of playing volleyball at the collegiate level. But being from a small town presented limitations. We didn’t know how to go about exposing her to college coaches, or how to tackle the recruiting process. Our daughter’s high school coach suggested we call NSR recruiter, Kari Chavez. After meeting with Kari, we realized quickly we had found an ally that would work long hours on our daughter’s behalf to find the perfect school for her abilities. Kari spent time evaluating our daughter in one-on-one meetings, and in the gym as an athlete. Kari's presence at national tournaments and her relationships with collegiate coaches at every level proved to us she could do what she said. As our daughter was being recruited, time and again coaches referred to their respect of Kari’s opinions because she was so accurate in the evaluations of her athletes. Coaches rely heavily on Kari for feedback, because they know she doesn’t over-inflate her athletes like other recruiting organizations do. The result is the proper fit for both athlete and coach, with Kari serving as the connection between the two. The investment we made in Kari and NSR was priceless. In the 11 months we worked with Kari, our daughter received full ride offers to Division 1 & Division 2 universities.

Kari Chavez

Co-National Director of Volleyball

I started working for NSR in October of 2014 and have found the career of my dreams. For 20 years I've been helping my own athletes get recruited but now I get to help athletes in all sports across the entire country with a great system. After going through the recruiting process myself, I had a very successful playing career that led me to coaching at Gonzaga University for several years.

After starting a family I decided college coaching was not a career I wanted. I started playing professional volleyball for PVL Team Evergreen and am now enjoying the success of the athletes I work with on their recruiting. There is no greater feeling than an athlete of mine receiving a scholarship. The financial pressure is off the parents and the hard work has paid off for the athlete. I'm passionate about what I do. I love the families I work with. I'm truly blessed to be a part of NSR.

Sheila Thiery

Co-National Director of Volleyball

A resident of Cincinnati, I'm currently the Area Director of Scouting for Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, as well as the National Co-Director of Volleyball Scouting. Combining over 28+ years of marketing experience and my love of sports and kids, I have found my true passion!

As a parent of two elite athletes, I understand what it takes to compete at the next level. I can identify talent and what college coaches are looking for in an athlete, both skill-wise and beyond. Having experienced the recruiting process from a parents point of view, I know first-hand how overwhelming and stressful the process can be. I take pride in guiding athletes and their families through this journey, eliminating the stress and helping them find their proper fit, so mom and dad can have peace of mind. As my daughter was being recruited, I realized there were many athletes that were good enough to play in college, but that didn't go on to play because their parents didn't understand the process and didn't seek help. Don't let this be your son or daughter. I look forward to helping your son or daughter reach their dreams of playing in college and making their recruiting journey a positive and exciting time in their career!
