College Recruiting
At 360 Sports Academy, we are dedicated to training our athletes with the aspiration that they will be fully prepared to compete at the collegiate level in volleyball, should they choose that path. To support this goal, our club conducts quarterly grade checks for all athletes, requiring a minimum GPA of 2.8. We understand that challenges may arise in their academic pursuits, and we are committed to providing the necessary resources to help students thrive in the classroom. Furthermore, we have established a partnership with Sports Recruits, our designated college recruiting platform, enabling athletes to create profiles and connect with college coaches. Additionally, all our high school teams will utilize Balltime accounts—our preferred video highlight and statistics provider—which allow club coaches to analyze game performances and generate individual player stats. Parents will also have access to Balltime, facilitating the creation of highlight reels that can be directly uploaded to each athlete's Sports Recruits profile page.

This program helped my daughter build confidence in her game. It made her realize that with practice and training she can get better. It also made her think about her after high school goals. The programs not only met her needs on the court but it also helped build her character.
