Templates & Resources

​

• Highlight Video - Remember that your highlight video is the coach’s first (and often second or third) chance to evaluate you. A great highlight video can get you on a coach’s “watch list” and should hopefully entice a coach to see you live! If you're using Hudl to make your video, check out the Athlete's Guide to Hudl for some great tips and tutorial videos.

​

• Volleyball Resume - This is a good way to compile all your basic volleyball and academic stats in a one-page format (with a photo). If you have an online profile, you can also direct coaches to that.

• College Process Timeline - This is for your personal use. Some people use Google Sheets, some use pen and paper, but we would recommend figuring out some system that keeps you organized and on track with deadlines. You’ll also want a college list to track which coaches you’ve reached out to and feedback/camp dates/etc.

​

• Email to Coach - Make sure you personalize these with the coach’s name and the name of the school. Even better - add something about their season or social media to show you did your research! The template below is pretty standard - we recommend that you personalize it into your own words and so that your personality comes through - but make sure to include the important academic and athletic information and a link to your highlight video. You can attach your volleyball resume if you have one, but it’s not required. ●
