College Volleyball Scholarships?
Getting a college scholarship depends mostly on whether or not the school you are looking at wants to give you one. If they want you to play for them, they will make you an offer no matter whether you played club or high school. Obviously, the key is that they have to want you to play for them, so I would definitely get as much playing in as possible to make sure that your skills are at the highest level possible. Now, it is true that your chances of being seen by college scouts go up dramatically if you play club, but it isn't mandatory. However, most coaches recruit players in their sophomore and junior years, so since you will be a senior you may not get looked at much even if you do play club. So be proactive, the coaches don't have to come to you first. If there's a school that you have in mind, contact their coach. Many schools do offer open tryouts as well as online athlete questionnaires that you can fill out. Be reasonable with which schools you look at though; since you don't have much experience, chances are you won't make a high-level Div-I team unless you are supremely talented. There are some requirements for NCAA, such as a minimum GPA, etc, I don't know about NAIA or community colleges. Good luck!
