Next Level
Playing U SPORTS, CCAA or NCAA Volleyball
Canadian players are recruited by U SPORTS universities, CCAA colleges and NCAA and other American schools. Coaches are choosing students as well as players, so grades count as much as kills. In Calgary, the University of Calgary Dinos and Mount Royal University Cougars play U SPORTS volleyball, and the SAIT Trojans play college volleyball in the ACAC, part of the CCAA.
| Grade | What to work on |
|---|---|
| Grades 9–10 | Play club, keep grades up, try more than one position, and start a one-page athletic résumé. |
| Grades 10–11 | Make a short highlight video, go to ID camps and showcases, and list schools that suit your athlete in class and on the court. |
| Grades 11–12 | Send coaches the video and your tournament dates, visit campuses, and look up eligibility (for American schools, the NCAA Eligibility Center). |
