About AVSR Global

Since 1985, Bill Feldman has served collegiate coaches as editor of the nation's leading volleyball scouting service. Are you new to American Volleyball Scouting Report? Here are answers to some frequently asked questions.

Do athletes pay to be reported?

No!Unlike recruiting agencies that are paid by athletes to promote them, AVSR is funded entirely by subscribing colleges. It's about credibility. Editor Bill Feldman is a scout and journalist, not an agent. Accuracy is his guiding principle. Amid the hype and politics of recruiting, Bill has earned the trust of collegiate coaches for his reliability as a scout and reporter.

Does AVSR Global “place” athletes at specific schools?

No! AVSR only does the scouting and reporting. You do the recruiting.

At what level can AVSR Global recruits make an impact?

They can succeed in mid-Division I or higher, typically as freshmen. Some can play for Top 25 Division I teams, but most are better suited for mid-Division I or high-Division II. AVSR recruits have competed in 31 conferences in Division I, Division II, Division III, the NAIA, and the NJCAA.

How detailed are the player profiles?

Extremely. There’s nothing else like them in volleyball. Editor Bill Feldman combines thorough, in-person evaluations with critical, comprehensive profiles to give coaches a remarkably clear view of each player as a future collegiate student-athlete.

Who scouts the athletes?

Bill Feldman does all of AVSR’s scouting. If Bill hasn’t scouted them, he doesn’t report them.

Can I see video of the players reported by AVSR Global?

AVSR is not a video service. If you prefer to evaluate players by watching video, AVSR isn’t for you. However, public video clips are available as supplements to AVSR profiles.

Do two-year colleges subscribe to AVSR Global?

They do ... and they win! Every year, some of the nation’s top junior college teams find their best players by subscribing to AVSR Global. Most AVSR recruits go directly to four-year schools as freshmen, but several of them each year choose junior colleges.

Is AVSR Global a full-time, year-round service?

Absolutely. New player profiles and updates are published throughout the year. Bill Feldman is a full-time volleyball talent scout, working exclusively for American collegiate coaches.

What countries does AVSR Global cover?

There are no boundaries — AVSR has reported athletes from Macedonia to New Zealand, from Luxembourg to Latvia — but the primary focus is central and eastern Europe.

Does AVSR Global still report on American players?

No. After two decades as the nation’s premier domestic volleyball scouting service, AVSR now reports only on athletes who live beyond the USA.
