Once evaluated, students who hope to earn not only recruiting opportunities, but college volleyball scholarships, as well, will gain maximum exposure to the schools of their choice. The Scouting Report allows college coaches to have up-to-date athletic and academic information delivered directly to their email boxes.

Q&A with Holly Hopkins

NCSA caught up with rising volleyball star Holly Hopkins to talk about her high school career and the opportunity to compete at the next level. 

NCSA: What have you gained from playing sports in high school (teamwork, the importance of hard work)? How has it affected your life away from the game? 

Hopkins: I’ve gained a lot of things from high school sports. I learned about commitment, hard work and teamwork.  

NCSA: What is your schedule like in season?

Then I have club practice until 9:30pm then come home and work on my recruiting. I have learned valuable time management skills through volleyball which helps me balance homework, volleyball and recruiting. Read More >>
