YOUR RECRUITING TIMELINE
NCAA rules matter. So does timing. Here’s exactly what to focus on — and what NOT to stress about — at every grade level.
8TH GRADE & EARLIER
FRESHMAN YEAR (9TH GRADE)
Per NCAA Division I rules, coaches can’t have recruiting conversations with you yet. What you can do: attend college camps as a player, follow programs you like on social, and start tracking your stats and academics. Keep a folder of game film. Start a sharable Hudl highlight reel, YouTube Channel, and sign up for a University Athlete account.
Per NCAA rules, June 15 after sophomore year is when D1 coaches can first contact most volleyball recruits — so freshman year is for prep, not pitch.
SOPHOMORE YEAR (10TH GRADE)
JUNIOR YEAR (11TH GRADE)
SENIOR YEAR (12TH GRADE)
NCAA rules cited above apply to D1 volleyball; D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO rules differ. Always verify current rules at NCAA.org.
