Temecula Viper Volleyball Club

If you want to play volleyball in college you need to take action. Here is how to get started.

University Athlete is the leading provider of player information for college coaches year round and especially at big tournaments such as JO Qualifiers. If you are playing in SCVA tournaments and/or JO Qualifiers you need to get your name in University Athlete's system so they can find you and contact you if they see you play. To do this, go to www.universityathlete.com and follow the instructions. It's $40/year and well worth it! (Note, they do offer free memberships, but the free membership does not include access to college information which can save you a lot of time.)

Rich Kern has been in the volleyball world for a long time. Coaches from all over the country use his database to search for recruitable athletes. This service is free and recommended. Click here to register now!

This year, Viper has a Club Membership to Prep Volleyball for 15 and older Regional, Travel and Elite players. You can use this membership to access all kinds of information about recruiting and more!

Make sure to check out their "Infinity Recruiting" section where you can learn what positions colleges are looking for in your graduation year! Visit their website today.

To use this service create an account using the Viper password. You can get the Viper password from your coach or Dana.

You should have a Bio sheet to send to colleges when you make contact with them. If they contact you, they will have you fill out their questionnaire but you can get ahead of the game by sending them the one that Viper has designed.
