USA Volleyball’s National Team Development Program (NTDP) has formed the Indoor NTDP Scouting Network, consisting of more than 100 of the top volleyball coaches and experts from across the United States. The NTDP Scouting Network serves as the talent identification process for age-group national teams and the NTDP Training Series.
Among the coaches is U.S. Men’s National Team Head Coach John Speraw, who has won two NCAA titles, once with UC Irvine and most recently with UCLA in 2023.
“Talent identification is not an exact science. It takes years of experience, knowledge of the game, and understanding of the growth and maturation process,” Speraw said. “I am excited to collaborate with the NTDP as a member of the Scouting Network and help bring together the very best young athletes in the country to train with and against one another.”
The NTDP Scouting Network will continuously identify athletes at various youth volleyball events, through video and more. Athletes from any location and organization are eligible to participate, and each scout will have a national scope with no limit on which events they attend and recommend athletes. To create efficiency within the Scouting Network, four zones have been identified (see map below).
We encourage all Indoor athletes to update their University Athlete profiles and include their name, club, position, jersey number, birth year, height, and club coach contact information to assist scouts in the identification process and NTDP staff in communicating potential opportunities.
“More girls play high school volleyball than any other sport. Choosing the best of the best isn’t easy. I applaud USAV’s efforts to create a program that will identify athletes amongst the 460,000-plus who could one day represent our national team.”
