Recruiting
Any prospective student who would like to play basketball, volleyball or softball on the collegiate level should contact the head coach of the sport they are interested in.

“If a student is within driving range, we will visit. We will always contact the coach and ask for the student’s stats and athletic biography. In some cases we may request the student send us a video,” said Athletic Director Dave Ketterman.
