7 volleyball recruiting mistakes that quietly cost offers

Waiting to be discovered. Build a target list and introduce yourself to programs that fit.

Sending generic emails. Name the program detail that makes your message personal.

Letting a parent do all the talking. Parents can support; the athlete should lead coach communication.

Unclear film. Put useful action first, keep it focused and label the athlete.

Ignoring school and eligibility. Track courses and learn the requirements for your pathway.

Overlooking social media. Review what a coach would see and keep it respectful.

Never following up. Send a polite follow-up and ask a clear question.
