How Volleyball Players Can Prepare for the June 15th Recruiting Window
For volleyball players in the Class of 2028, June 15, 2026, is a major milestone. NCAA Division I coaches can begin directly contacting recruits after this date, including phone calls, texts, emails, and verbal scholarship offers. Preparing now can help you stand out when college programs begin reaching out.
One of the most important steps is creating a polished recruiting profile. Make sure your athletic and academic information is current, including height, position, club team, school, GPA, and upcoming tournament schedule. Many college coaches evaluate athletes long before June 15, so having accurate information readily available is essential.
Next, focus on your highlight video. Coaches often review film before deciding which athletes to contact. Your video should showcase your best plays first, demonstrate your skills, and clearly identify you on every clip. Using QwikCut’s volleyball video analysis and highlight tools, athletes can quickly create clean, professional recruiting videos that are easy for coaches to evaluate.
Athletes should also research schools that fit their athletic, academic, and personal goals. Fill out recruiting questionnaires, attend camps, and introduce yourself to coaches before the contact window opens. Consistent communication and updated film can help keep your name on a coach’s recruiting board.
Finally, be ready when June 15 arrives. Coaches may begin contacting prospects immediately, especially athletes they have already evaluated through club tournaments and showcases. Have a list of questions prepared, respond professionally, and keep an open mind throughout the recruiting process.
