What is a Recruiting Combine & Exposure Classic?

A Recruiting Combine is a day which has a combination of physical testing and volleyball skill testing. An Exposure Classic is a day of play that is observed by college coaches who are interested in recruiting athletes to play volleyball at their college.

_______________________________________________

Who is eligible to attend?

Any 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade volleyball player from any High School. You do not need to be a member of Articatz VBC. This combine is open to ALL players regardless of club or high school affiliation.This is a perfect opportunity for those players who would normally have limited exposure to college coaches because of their outstate location, or because they are playing in a club that doesn't travel to any of the major junior events (Qualifiers).It is also a perfect opportunity for club players who want additional exposure to college coaches. You will be on the court at the combine, and not sitting on the bench.

What colleges will be there to watch me?

We hope to have anywhere from 40-100 college coaches to attend this event. Division II, Division III, NAIA, all levels are invited to attend. We hope to have a list of coaches whom will be attending. Please be aware that many coaches won't register until just a few days before the event.
