Frequently asked questions
What do college coaches look for in a volleyball ds?
Role film and competitive experience first, then jump/reach and movement that match how the position is used. XFR benchmarks organize the athletic half of that story.

Can club volleyball athletes use this evaluation?
Yes. Create a free evaluation with your volleyball position and current measurables, then add film when ready.
