Kaitlyn Perkins '18 Recruiting Profile

I have been around the game of Volleyball since I could walk.  I grew up watching my dad play.  He played upper league co-ed tournaments, and often took me along.  I developed a passion for it immediately.  I played on my first team in the 3rd grade.  I have played as much as possible since then.  I play Co-ed whenever possible with my dad, I love spending time with him and being challenged by the other adults he plays with.  I have played Club ball for 5 years, played Varsity HS for 4 yrs and was a starter 3 yrs.  I try to get in the gym every chance possible, I want to continue to improve my skills and be the best player and teammate possible.  I want to continue playing after high school because I love the game and I think It will be a great experience for me.  I hope to one day become a Coach myself.  I am looking for a school and program that will challenge me both athletically and academically.  I am prepared to work hard, and be a great teammate and student!!

***I played the 2018 Season at Crowley's Ridge College.  I enjoyed my first year of College and had a great 1st season.  I played Libero for my team and finished the season with 755 Digs (2nd most in my conference and 11th NAIA), and 57 Aces (5th in conference/19th NAIA).  I was named A.I.I. Player of the week in October, and at the end of season I was named 1st team All conference and Honorable Mention All Region.  College ball has been a great experience for me and I feel like I've grown as a player and person.

Unfortunately, I have recently learned that my Coach will not be returning next season, so at this time I feel I want to consider all my options and look at the possibility of transferring in the fall.  I am looking to play at a College with an established program and good coaches.  I want to be a Coach one day so being part of a good program and learning from experienced coaches I believe will benefit me most.
