Changes to D1 VB Recruiting and What You Need to Know


Listen Later

The D1 volleyball recruiting landscape has changed, and if you're navigating the process as an athlete, parent, or coach, it's critical to stay ahead of the curve.

In this premiere episode of the NXTVB Podcast, host Susan Forbes, former Division 1 athlete, coach, and certified life coach, breaks down the biggest shifts shaping NCAA volleyball recruiting today. From updated NCAA timelines and the June 15th contact rule to the real impact of NIL deals and the transfer portal, Susan unpacks everything you need to know to stay grounded and confident throughout the recruiting journey.

Whether you're a top prospect, unsure where you stand, or simply overwhelmed by the process, this episode will help you gain clarity, set realistic expectations, and make empowered decisions for your future.

In this episode I mention the June 15th Prep Club which ran for the month of May. If you are listening and want help prepping for June 15th, join us inside the ALL-IN Membership, we're dishing all that we can there leading up to June 15th and will be there to support you if you need beyond June 15th as well!

Or if you're listening to this episode, and have a daughter who is in high school, and you're feeling a bit behind or like something is off in her recruiting process, apply for a Recruit Ready® Intensive. We'll meet your daughter where she's at and get her going the direction of her goals and dreams.
