The NFL Draft is always at the forefront of sports talk for months, but why can’t volleyball get in on the fun.
Last year, when things were a little quieter on the competition front due to COVID, we put together the 2020 Volleyball Draft.
Well, it was a fun new wrinkle to include during the year, that I decided why not do it again in 2021?
The 2021 Volleyball Draft will be taking place over the upcoming weeks.
In case you forgot, here’s what the format looks like:
Teams: Eagles, Bulldogs, Tigers, Warriors, Lions, Wildcats, Cougars, Falcons. Adding in the Bears and Broncos this year for a total of 10.
Format: Snake Draft (1st pick in Round 1 has last pick in Round 2, etc.)
Rosters: 10 players per team. Each team will have at least 1 setter, 3 outside hitters/OPP, 2 middles and 2 liberos/defensive specialists.
Player Pool: Each draftee will be a member of either the Class of 2022, 2023 or 2024 in the state of Michigan.
GM’s: Me, Myself and I. So if you have an issue with it, send your complaints my way.
What better place to start things off than looking at the big board.
