Join Susan for a valuable taste of a lesson you get inside the Volleyball Recruiting School membership. College volleyball camps can play a role in the recruiting process, but many families sign up for them without fully understanding how coaches actually use them.In this episode, Susan shares a sneak peek from one of the lessons inside Volleyball Recruiting School, where she breaks down how to think strategically about camps. Rather than treating camps as something you simply “have to do,” Susan explains how they fit into the bigger recruiting picture and why being intentional about where you spend your time and money matters.You’ll learn the different types of volleyball camps, how coaches view them from the recruiting side, and the key questions families should ask before signing up. Susan also walks through how camps can help athletes build connections with programs, gain clarity about potential schools, and move forward in the recruiting process when used strategically. If camps are part of your recruiting plan this year, this episode will help you think about them in a smarter and more informed way.Chapters00:00 – A sneak peek inside Volleyball Recruiting School01:00 – Why families struggle to plan their camp strategy02:00 – The role camps play in the recruiting process03:30 – Why you don’t need camps to get recruited05:00 – How camps can provide clarity and exposure06:30 – Understanding the recruiting “funnel”08:00 – The three main types of volleyball camps09:00 – Camps hosted at club programs09:45 – College camps hosted on campus10:45 – Prospect camps vs. general camps11:15 – Showcase style camps and evaluations11:45 – Why strategy matters when choosing campsJoin Susan for a monthly recruiting lesson January-June inside the Volleyball Recruiting School!
