Where can I find a list of colleges accepting volleyball transfers?

I play volleyball at my current college but am considering transferring. Is there a list of colleges that are open to volleyball transfer students? Want to keep playing while continuing my studies.

Being a student-athlete takes a lot of work, and it’s awesome that you’re committed to keeping up with both your academics and your volleyball career.

As far as I am aware, there isn't an existing compiled list of colleges that specifically focus on accepting volleyball transfers. However, you can explore this by taking a few steps.

Firstly, consider getting in touch directly with the volleyball coaches at the colleges you're interested in. You can typically find their contact information on the athletic department's page on the college's website. Share your situation with them and express your interest in transferring and continuing your volleyball career at their school.

Secondly, the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) facilitates a Transfer Portal that is a database of student-athletes who have given notice of their intent to transfer from their current college or university. You have to discuss this with your current coach or athletic director and they'll put your name in the transfer portal.

By leveraging the NCAA's Transfer Portal, once you've announced your intent to transfer, schools can contact you about playing on their team. So instead of you searching for schools, they find you.

Also, be aware of transfer guidelines set by the NCAA. Different sports and divisions have different rules regarding who can transfer and when, how often, and whether they need to sit out a season, etc.

Remember to also consider the academics, location, size, and culture of any potential transfer schools. College athletics can be a major influence, but they shouldn't solely drive your decision-making process. Good luck!
