Hey guys, I'm a junior and I play volleyball, so I would love to keep playing it in college. Can you recommend some D2 schools with strong volleyball programs? Thanks for your help!

Certainly! There are several Division II schools with strong volleyball programs across the country. While I cannot give an exhaustive list, here are a few notable ones to consider:

1. Cal State San Bernardino: The Coyotes have consistently been a force in D2 volleyball, winning the national championship in 2019 and consistently ranking high in their conference and nationally.

2. University of Tampa: The Spartans are known for their success in volleyball, as they routinely make deep runs in the NCAA tournament and have won multiple national championships.

3. Concordia University - St. Paul (Minnesota): The Golden Bears have a storied volleyball program, with several national championships under their belt. They have a history of success and have produced numerous All-American players.

4. Washburn University (Kansas): The Ichabods have a strong volleyball program, which regularly performs well in their conference and even competes in the NCAA tournament.

5. University of West Florida: The Argonauts have a competitive volleyball program that has performed well in recent years, even winning a national championship in 2017.

6. Lewis University (Illinois): The Flyers have a solid volleyball program and have consistently ranked high in their conference standings.

As you research the schools on this list, connect with their current coaches and athletes to gauge whether the volleyball program's culture and expectations align with your needs and goals. Also, be sure to consider other factors such as location, campus culture, academic programs, and financial aid opportunities.

Don't forget to consider the importance of your academic fit at these schools as well—after all, you'll be attending to earn a degree, so finding a school with a strong academic program that matches your interests is essential. Overall, you want to choose a school where you'll thrive personally and academically, as well as athletically. Good luck with your college search and volleyball journey!
