One way to draw attention to yourself and qualify for a volleyball scholarship is to have and demonstrate great skill at the game of volleyball. Show off your talent as a member of your school's volleyball team. Join the team as early as you can, preferably your freshman year. If you stand out among volleyball players, look for recruiters to knock on your door. If not, you can go after the schools you're interested in by contacting their athletic programs. Download the NCAA's Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete to learn about the volleyball recruitment process.
Talk with others who have received scholarships or have helped guide others in obtaining them. Consult with your volleyball coach to see if they have connections in the collegiate sports arena. If graduates from your school have gone on to earn volleyball scholarships, it's time to talk with those alumni. Perhaps some upperclassmen on your volleyball team will have some insight to share.
Maintain good grades. You'll first be noticed for your great volleyball skills, but you also should maintain good grades. Aim for at least a B average. This shows recruiters and coaches that you have dedication to the sport and your school work. They won't have to worry about you dropping out of college and their sports program because you don't know how to juggle sports and academics.
Build a biographical resume showcasing your athletic accomplishments and awards. Highlight some of your volleyball team's victories and how you contributed. Other details should include your statistics: jump touch, standing reach and approach jump. Create a video highlighting your game performances and include that in your application packet. List your grade point average and your references.
