Combine & seminar questions

Can athletes attend the combine or seminar if their school isn't in the tournament?

Yes. If you don't have a team in the tournament, that doesn't matter to us. We want as many athletes as possible to learn about recruiting and get college exposure.

What is a recruiting seminar?

A session for high school coaches, athletes and parents to learn the recruiting process. College coaches from multiple levels share what they look for, the rules they follow, scholarship information, which recruiting avenues they actually use, and where an athlete should be in the process by grade.

What is a recruiting combine?

An exposure event, usually the night before a big tournament, where high school players show their skills to college coaches. Every player gets the same number of touches, with no favoritism by club or school, and every college coach gets equal access to the players.

Is a combine the same as a showcase?

Basically. We use "recruiting combine" because some small, invite-only club events also call themselves showcases.

Will the combine be recorded?

Yes. It's livestreamed for college coaches who can't attend in person, and players get access to the footage afterward for their own recruiting.

What's the combine format?

90 minutes focused on maximum touches: position drills, then group drills. Think of it as an in-person skills video for college coaches. There's no 6-on-6 scrimmage, to reduce injury risk the night before a tournament.

Do you measure height, jumps or speed?

No. The focus is volleyball ability. Physical testing would take far more time, and college coaches are practiced at judging height and jump on sight.
