Hey, I'm a junior with a strong passion for volleyball, and I'm curious about the rankings of high school volleyball teams in Illinois. Which high schools have the best programs? How competitive is the recruitment process?
High schools with strong volleyball programs in Illinois typically perform well in the state championships and are known for their competitive teams. While I don't have the exact ranked list of high schools, there are some that consistently stand out in terms of their volleyball programs:
1. Marist High School
2. Mother McAuley High School
3. Benet Academy
4. Neuqua Valley High School
5. St. Charles East High School
Keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive and there may be other great programs in Illinois; this is just a starting point based on past performance in championships and competitions.
As for the recruitment process, it can be quite competitive, especially for top-tier schools and programs. Here are a few suggestions to increase your chances of being recruited:
1. Focus on improving your skills, strength, and conditioning. A well-rounded volleyball player is more likely to get noticed by coaches and recruiters.
2. Attend volleyball camps, clinics, or showcases to gain exposure and learn from experienced coaches.
3. Communicate with college coaches by sending them your highlight video, game schedule, and academic information. This will help you remain on their radar.
4. Consider working with a club team to invest more time into developing your skills and competing at a higher level.
Stay proactive throughout the process – research schools, reach out to coaches, and continually strive to improve your game. Good luck with your volleyball journey!
