Started thinking about my college search and one thing that's important to me is a competitive volleyball program. Any advice on colleges well-known for their volleyball teams?
It sounds like you're looking for colleges where you can continue your love for volleyball at a competitive level. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Stanford University: They have a highly competitive program that has won multiple NCAA Championships in recent years.
2. University of Florida: Their women's volleyball team is consistently ranked in the top 25 nationally.
3. Penn State University: The Nittany Lions have had a long-standing history of success in volleyball, including several national titles.
4. University of Southern California: USC volleyball teams consistently perform well, and the university's location in sunny California is a plus for many athletes.
5. University of Hawaii at Mānoa: The Rainbow Wahine volleyball team has won multiple national championships and is consistently strong in their performance.
6. University of Texas at Austin: The Longhorns have a strong tradition of volleyball and have appeared in numerous NCAA Final Four tournaments.
Remember, playing at a high-level program often means a big time commitment. This should factor into your decision, as balancing academics and athletics can be challenging. You may also want to consider the coaching style, team culture, and how well you'll fit. Reach out to the coaches, talk to current or former players, and if you can, try to watch a few games or practices (either in person or online) to get a sense of the team dynamic.
Good luck with your college search!
