We are here to assist all girls with these very important decisions in their life. Our 14's - 18's club coaches are very eager to make sure every athlete who shows an interest in volleyball or school is assisted by our friendly and educated staff. Our objective is to place every player who comes to us with the desire to continue their education and pursuing a volleyball career. We are all working towards the same goal. Each athlete that has had the desire to pursue their volleyball career has been offered a scholarship.
AVCA Compliance Point Questions Answered...
Q: When can a coach begin mailing, faxing or emailing materials (such as
letters, media guides, etc) to individuals (prospects, non-prospects, and
parents/guardians) for the purpose of recruitment?
A: NCAA Division I institutions may provide recruiting materials to individuals
on and after September 1 of the prospect’s junior year in high school .
Institutions may provide non-personal information such as questionnaires, camp
brochures, educational material produced by the NCAA, and non-athletics
institutional publications (e.g., official academic, admissions and student
services publications available to all students) at any time. It is not
permissible for college coaches to provide materials except for the ones listed
above for the purpose of recruitment to coaches, club recruiters, or parents of
individuals until September 1 of the individual’s junior year with the
intent that that club coach or club recruiter will pass the information along to
the prospect who is a freshman or sophomore. This parameter applies to students
who have not yet started classes for his/her freshman year in high school
(grade 9).
Q: What types of printed recruiting materials may be sent (standard mail,
electronic mail, or via facsimile) to juniors and seniors in high school?
A: NCAA Division I institutions may provide the following printed materials to
prospective student-athletes, their parents or legal guardians, or their coaches
after September 1 of the prospect’s junior year of high school.
Q: How many volleyball coaches from one institution may engage in off-campus recruiting activities at one time?
A: In Division I, a women’s (men’s is the same) volleyball program is allowed to have three coaches on the staff, but only two of them are permitted to contact or evaluate prospective student-athletes off-campus at any one time. It is permissible for a coach to leave campus to engage in an off-campus contact or evaluation before another coach who is off campus actually returns to campus, provided the total number of coaches recruiting on behalf of the institution at any time does not exceed two. The coach being replaced must complete his or her recruiting activities before another coach may begin any off-campus recruiting activity. In addition, it is important to note that the replaced coach may not engage in additional recruiting activities until after he or she has returned to the institution's campus.
Example #1: Coach 1 and Coach 2 are off-campus recruiting at a tournament in Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday. On Saturday evening, Coach 3 wishes to attend a club match that is being played near campus that begins after the end of the tournament that is being attended by Coaches 1 and 2. Is Coach 3 permitted to attend the club match? NO, because Coach 3 would be the third coach engaged in off-campus recruiting activities, and the NCAA only permits two coaches to be off-campus recruiting at one time. Even though Coaches 1 and 2 are finished recruiting for the day, Coach 3 is not permitted to attend the club match until Coach 1 or Coach 2 returns to campus.
Example #2: Coach 1 and Coach 2 are off-campus recruiting at a tournament in Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday. Coach 2 leaves Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon and returns to campus that night. Would Coach 3 be permitted to leave campus on Saturday night attend a tournament on Sunday morning? YES, as long as Coach 3 does not engage in any off-campus recruiting activities until Coach 2 has completed her recruiting activities for the day. Coach 2 may not engage in any additional recruiting activities once Coach 3 departs until she has returned to campus; therefore, if Coach 3 has left campus for the tournament, Coach 2 could not call prospects from the airport.
