[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how the main thing that is being missed in this thread is the value that a few of the expensive clubs give to the players who play for them. For example, a Metro and a Paramount whose 18s teams are typically composed and of entirely D1 recruits. Say you play for a paramount/metro from U15-U18, and you pay around $11,000 a season when all is said and done ($44,000 over the course of 4 years). Now, because of the platform/exposure to college recruiting that these clubs provide, as well as the training, your child receives a full athletic scholarship to a Division 1 university. This D1 university would cost the normal student $25,000 per year to attend ($100,000 total). See the value now? However, if your child is not a D1 player or is not good enough to get a scholarship, it makes little sense to spend that money on club volleyball, and you would be better off playing for a lower budget club [/quote]

B/C volleyball scholarships are limited to a headcount, the likelihood of a full scholarship for all 4 years is pretty small. Rosters are big at the college level.

This is a good short discussion of the numbers of D1 volleyball players and scholarships:

Yes, volleyball scholarships are extremely difficult to get, but many of the players you see committed from Metro and Paramount are getting athletic scholarships.

One caveat is that it is even more difficult for liberos/defensive specialists to get athletic scholarships. It's simple supply and demand. Since height is not required to be a high level defensive player there are many, many more for D1 programs to choose from and they generally do not need to use any of their scholarships to get a quality libero.
