COLLEGIATE SCHOLARSHIPS
Not all club volleyball players aspire to play in college. However, for those who do want to play beyond high school, TBJVC provides the opportunity to develop the discipline and skills necessary to compete at the collegiate level. The following is a list of former TBJVC members who have earned college scholarships to play volleyball. It is important to note the diversity of schools represented. Some are players listed below are currently, or have been members of NCAA Division II and NCAA Division I National Championships, and everything in between. In other words, we believe there is a place for every kind of player.

As part of our responsibility to our athletes, TBJVC can assist in targeting the appropriate school to fit the needs of the individual player. The contacts we have made in our 20 plus years are an invaluable resource for you to use. We are here to advise you and help guide you through this process.
