"We are proud of our past...committed to your future." VICTORY Volleyball Club takes a personal approach as we assist our players through the college recruiting process.  As many of our VICTORY athletes desire to continue playing volleyball in college, we strive to educate, assist and encourage.  Educate: We have compiled resources and helpful information to educate our VICTORY athletes and their parents.  Each year we hold a college recruiting information meeting that is open to all VICTORY families.  We provide helpful information regarding NCAA recruiting rules and give helpful suggestions and timelines. Assist:  We help our VICTORY athletes as they identify colleges of interest and begin to contact these programs.  We have developed several tools that are available to all VICTORY athletes as they create their own player profile to be distributed to college coaches.  We also provide guidance in developing a player recruiting video. Encourage:  VICTORY directors and coaches desire to encourage and support our VICTORY families as they experience both the excitement and stress of the college recruiting process.  It is our goal to help each player find the perfect fit, athletically, academically and socially as they head into the future. Our approach is best summarized in the following testimonial by a VICTORY family that is currently going through the recruiting process: Player / Parent Testimonials The staff at Victory, led by Ryan Mitchell, was helpful, persistent, reassuring, and tireless in their effort to find the perfect college volleyball match for our daughter.  We would have overlooked the opportunity that came up if Erin had not been watching out for us and staying on top of our situation and the changes going on around us.  And I think that it's worth noting that the university that will be Jessie's home for the next four years wants to form a bond with Victory Volleyball because of the club's leadership and the ideals that they stand behind.  The assistant coach at Tulsa summed it up when he said that "Erin and Ryan are great people.  I just hope that my son is fortunate enough to have someone like that in his life." - Scott & Serri Ayers If your daughter has the desire to take volleyball to the next level and play in college, you now wear a new hat, for me it was Managing Director of KP, Incorporated.  I have to say that I never would have thought that the process could begin early in Kristen's freshman year; however, Victory began at that time to provide basic information for various tools in the recruiting process, including the use of websites, printed and electronic profiles for each girl, as well as Victory staff and coaches personal interaction with college coaches at tournaments and by telephone.  Listen and learn because there are things all along the way that you can use, from parent information meetings, to written information that the coaches give directly to the girls, to one-on-one conversations and e-mails from the staff.  Don't fret if you are not computer savy, all you have to do is ask and someone will be glad to help you.  However, while your daughter may not have come to the decision to play until later in her Sophmore and/or Junior year, there is still time to review any information, put together marketing tools and communicate with the coaches and staff to help develop a plan of action.  While we could wait and let our girls grow up to manage this on their own, the reality is that "yes" it can begin early and "yes" it takes time which is where the parents can help to assemble information, direct and lead the girls in their effective communication with the college coaches via e-mail and/or telephone.   Victory is truly committed to providing a Christian atmosphere for our girls to grow, learn and prepare them for the next years and beyond.& nbsp; I am very thankful and feel blessed that Kristen has her second family - Victory; friendships with coaches, teammates and their familes that will be a part of her always. - Lisa Petrasic    The recruiting process for volleyball has been a little confusing, moderately stressful, and a lot of hard work.  We were exposed to the process once before at a different club in Dallas, and we are now experiencing it for a second time with VICTORY.   There is simply no comparison. The involvement of everyone at VICTORY has been completely supportive and proactive.  Both our coach and the director have been actively involved in educating us, helping with recruiting materials, and making phone calls on behalf of our daughter - both in response to inquiries and to schools where there might be a potential match.  All of this was done after talking with our daughter and trying to understand what she was really interested in. We've had at least five club staff members at various times throughout the season standing at courtside initiating conversations with passing college coaches and providing them with recruiting materials for either our daughter or other girls on the team with interests that better match that school.  We've been involved in club volleyball for five years, and I can honestly say that I've never witnessed this kind of support from any other club.  The process isn't complete yet, and it will be an interesting year as we finish traveling the recruiting trail.  No matter where the final match is found, I'm confident that we will have been given more heartfelt and involved support from the entire VICTORY staff than we would be able find with any other coaching staff in the country.   -- Victory Parent
