Whether you’re pursuing indoor or beach volleyball, StudBud works with athletes considering programs across the United States, including NCAA, NAIA, and junior college pathways.

Is This Recruiting Service Right for You?
Every athlete’s recruiting journey is different. The goal isn’t simply to find a college willing to offer a roster spot. It’s to identify opportunities that make sense for your volleyball ability, academic goals, financial situation, and personal preferences.
Who Can Benefit?
The recruiting services are designed for Canadian volleyball athletes who:
- Play indoor or beach volleyball.
- Are pursuing men's or women's U.S. college programs.
- Have a future college-entry or graduation timeline that allows them to pursue recruiting opportunities.
- Want to explore colleges across the United States, rather than limiting themselves to a particular state or region.
- Are interested in opportunities across collegiate divisions, conferences, and associations, including NCAA, NAIA, and junior college programs.
- Want professional guidance with college research, coach outreach, and the recruiting process.
- Are prepared to share accurate athletic and academic information and participate actively in their recruiting journey.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before contacting us.
If you’re unsure which colleges, divisions, or programs are realistic for your current level, the introductory conversation is an opportunity to discuss your situation.
StudBud assesses each athlete individually to determine whether its recruiting services are a suitable fit.
What Do You Get With Professional Recruiting Support?
Recruiting can become a second job for athletes and parents. Researching schools, identifying coaches, sending emails, tracking responses, and comparing opportunities all take time.
StudBud provides personalized recruiting support so families don’t have to manage the entire process on their own.
A Recruiting Strategy Built Around You
Your athletic abilities, academic performance, graduation timeline, and personal preferences help shape a recruiting strategy suited to your goals.
College Research and Targeting
Rather than approaching colleges at random, StudBud helps identify programs that may be a suitable athletic, academic, and financial fit. The recruiting search can include schools across the United States and programs in different conferences, divisions, and college athletic associations.
Coach Outreach and Communication
StudBud supports the process of introducing athletes to relevant college coaches, managing recruiting communications, and following up on opportunities.
Recruiting Profile and Video Guidance
Your academic and athletic information needs to be organized and easy for coaches to review. StudBud provides guidance on presenting your background, achievements, and volleyball footage as part of the recruiting process.
You can also review our guide on how to make a volleyball recruiting video and what college coaches need to see.
Scholarship and Offer Evaluation
When opportunities arise, families may need help understanding the athletic, academic, and financial details before deciding which college is the right choice. StudBud supports athletes and parents as they evaluate available opportunities and make informed decisions.
Support Throughout the Recruiting Journey
Professional recruiting support is not simply about sending emails to coaches. It also involves preparing for conversations, understanding next steps, reviewing opportunities, and receiving guidance as the recruiting process develops.
The specific services, responsibilities, and inclusions are explained by StudBud before enrolment and are governed by its service agreement.
How Does the Recruiting Process Work?
From the initial conversation to reviewing college opportunities, the process takes five steps.
Step 1 - Schedule a Complimentary Call
The process begins with a conversation with StudBud. You'll discuss the athlete's volleyball background, academic situation, goals, recruiting timeline, and what the family hopes to achieve. There is no obligation to sign up.
Step 2 - Review Your Recruiting Potential
StudBud reviews the information provided and discusses the kinds of college opportunities that may be realistic for the athlete. The purpose is to determine whether professional recruiting support is appropriate and whether both parties are comfortable moving forward.
Step 3 - Understand the Service Before You Decide
StudBud explains the recruiting approach, services, costs, responsibilities, and applicable guarantee conditions. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns.
Step 4 - Begin Recruiting With StudBud
If the family decides to proceed and StudBud accepts the athlete, the recruiting agreement is signed directly with StudBud. StudBud then provides and manages the recruiting services under that agreement.
Step 5 - Explore and Evaluate College Opportunities
As the recruiting process progresses, StudBud works with the athlete and family to identify, pursue, and evaluate suitable opportunities. The athlete and family remain involved in important decisions throughout the process.
Your call is complimentary, with no obligation to enrol.

The process of getting my scholarship was really smooth and fast. I needed a very good scholarship and Luka and Mico promised that.

It was always my dream to study and play in the USA and without Studbud Agency it wouldn’t have been possible.

It started with "lets give it a try", it quickly turned into a first discussion with them and my family, soon followed by the first discussions with the coaches. StudBud responded promptly and in detail to our questions,had a realistic approach and offered us the best advices. Luka with his calmness and optimism, Miko with his determination and pragmatism make a great team you can rely on. I recommend it with confidence to everyone who is looking for a scholarship.

What Should I Look for in a Volleyball Recruiting Website?
A useful volleyball recruiting website should make it easy for college coaches to review the information they need without opening multiple documents or searching through unrelated social media posts.
Build a Complete Recruiting Profile
Look for a platform that lets you present your playing position, physical measurements, club history, academic information, achievements and recruiting videos in one organized place. It should also let you keep your information current and share a direct link when contacting coaches.
Take Control of Your Recruiting Journey
Volleyball Athletes Recruiting Profile Pages are designed for athletes who want an online volleyball resume while managing their own recruiting process.
Recruiting Requires More Than a Profile
A profile website is a presentation tool, not a replacement for researching colleges, contacting coaches or following up with interested programs.
