June 15 is exciting, but it is NOT the finish line in volleyball recruiting. Every year, plenty of athletes who don't get calls on June 15 still go on to play college volleyball at high levels.

Some coaches move early. Some wait until after summer tournaments. Some are still figuring out roster needs, budgets, admissions, and who actually develops over the next year. 

Don't Disappear. This is the biggest mistake players make.

Thousands of players that do not get a call on June 15 go on to play in college, so do not get discouraged. Continue posting film, emailing coaches, and sharpening your skills. Recruiting rewards players who stay consistent and visible. Keep showing up. 

Summer offseason matters A LOT. Things you can do to continue developing —

Skills to Sharpen

A player can completely change their recruiting stock over one strong summer and/or offseason.

College Camps

While attending numerous camps can get expensive, being strategic with your camp selections can be a valuable investment in your recruiting journey. College camps provide an opportunity to get directly in front of coaches and learn more about their programs.

When you register for a camp, send the coaching staff an email introducing yourself. Let them know you'll be attending and are looking forward to meeting them in person. Reaching out beforehand can increase the chances of coaches recognizing your name and taking a closer look at you during camp.

Showcases

Showcases can be a great way to gain exposure while also collecting valuable film for your recruiting profile. Many showcase events feature college coaches from various levels and allow athletes to compete in front of multiple programs at once.

PrepDig Nevada also hosts showcases that are recorded on BallerTV, giving athletes access to game footage and highlight clips. Parents can capture additional footage from a closer perspective, while athletes may also be featured on PrepDig Nevada's social media platforms and in PrepDig articles. These opportunities can help players build updated film and increase their visibility with college coaches.

PrepDig Nevada will host its Stock Up Showcase on August 8, 2026, at It's All Volleyball. Athletes can learn more and register here to increase their exposure opportunities. Use code Kantessabryantmiller10 at checkout to save on registration.

Additional recruiting platforms to consider:

Your film should:

Coaches want to see how you actually play volleyball — not just kills. They also want to see what you have done lately.

DO NOT wait for coaches to magically find you. Let them know you exist.

Send emails. Then send more emails.

College coaches receive hundreds of recruiting emails each week. A single email can easily get lost in the shuffle. Being persistent and professional can help you stand out. Follow up periodically, provide updated film, share academic achievements, and keep coaches informed of your tournament schedule.

The goal is not to be annoying—the goal is to be visible. The more often coaches see your name, the more likely they are to remember you when evaluating recruits for their program.

Other ways to contact coaches 

The players who continue climbing usually improve in areas coaches trust:

Everybody wants to hit hard. The complete players get recruited.

Some players:

That doesn't mean your story is finished.

Development matters.

Recruiting changes FAST.

A coach can suddenly need:

When opportunities open, prepared players benefit.

Be realistic, but still confident. A lot of athletes only focus on one level. One of the biggest mistakes recruits make is limiting their search too early. Be open to multiple divisions, multiple states, and a variety of programs. Don't automatically eliminate opportunities because they aren't in your preferred region. This is especially important for athletes on the West Coast, where there are fewer college volleyball programs compared to other parts of the country. Many NCAA Division I opportunities are located in the South and East, not to mention the hundreds of additional opportunities available at the NCAA Division II, Division III, NAIA, NJCAA, and other collegiate levels. The map below shows all college/universities in the USA. Note how many schools are outside of the Western region.

Below are all divisions that offer college volleyball:

Good fits matter more than logos. Focus less on the division label and more on:

According to the NCAA,

Do not let one date define your confidence.

A slow recruiting process does not mean you are a bad player. Keep working, keep improving, and keep putting yourself in position to be seen.

Your story is still being written. 🏐
