University & College Sport Associations

Three organizations — the NCAA, NJCAA and NAIA — control the sport teams of almost every American college and university. To get a scholarship as a volleyball player, you will need to send documents to at least one of the organizations.

AVSR Global will help you understand how to work with the right organization in the right way. Schools that offer scholarships to you can be helpful, too.
