OUR PAST & CURRENT ATHLETES
WHO HAVE WE WORKED WITH?
Athletes We Work With…
PRO (international)
#EliteVolleyFam = exclusively represented
#EliteVolleyJobList = NOT exclusively represented
STUDENT-ATHLETES (from outside of USA)
#EliteVolleyFam = exclusively promoted
Basic = NOT exclusively promoted
Current/former student-athletes:
Mostly U15, U18 & Senior National team athletes from European countries
Most from Balkans and Western Europe…
Placed mostly at top 40 schools even top 3 schools, if you’re good enough ;)
Differences between us and others:
We charge USA schools to help us keep the BASIC service free because student-athletes deserve it!
Since our BASIC service is free where (after you apply) we help you make a CV/profile and then promote it to schools for you… that way we keep costs minimal for athletes instead of $€1000’s to just show your CV/profile to teams!
You just pay for your tests (SAT ~100$ + TOEFL ~200$ or DuoLingo 49$) and NCAA eligibility center 150$ (NCAA only)… So IF you choose to go to a USA NCAA D1 school you can expect to pay between $250—450 (€225-400) before going to a school if they give you a full scholarship.
You can know and have proof of where you are being promoted! Members of our site’s lists include Illinois, Texas, Pittsburgh, Penn St. St, John’s, Florida State, Texas, Nebraska, Denver, Northwestern, Depaul, Oregon St., Western Virginia, Towson, Arizona St. and other west coast schools like USC, Seattle, UCLA, BYU, etc. These are just some!
We work with several hundred coaches at mostly NCAA D1 top and mid-levels but also lower-level teams of NAIA/JUCO for players that need a year or more to adjust to language/culture/level.
Because we’ve been doing this since 2006 we have a strong mentorship network of former NCAA foreign athletes!
Just a few are:Team Hungary’s Eszter NAGY in A1 Germany!
Brazilian Gabi STAVNETCHEI in A2 Italy & Mariana “Mari” AQUINO (Champions League Silver medalist!)
Team Serbia’s Ivana JEREMIĆ & Jelena NOVAKOVIĆ (Serbian U17/19 Champion)
Team Croatia’s Katarina GLAVINIĆ & Bruna VRANKOVIĆ
Team Germany’s Aisha Skinner
Team Estonia’s Liis & Kadi Kullerkann
We have a strong pro side too. Check our pro list!
