What Sets VB Recruiter Apart?
VB Recruiter is the only recruiting service dedicated solely to men’s volleyball and run by people who have personally competed and gone through the recruiting process at the highest level. Because we have lived it, we understand the realities of men’s volleyball recruiting and how athletes actually earn opportunities at the college level.
Men’s Volleyball–Only Focus
Our team has built genuine relationships with men’s college volleyball coaches across the country through years of playing, coaching, and recruiting at the highest levels. These are real connections rooted in trust and credibility, allowing our athletes to gain meaningful exposure and honest feedback from decision-makers who matter.
Real College Coach Connections
We intentionally limit the number of athletes we work with so every family receives focused, individualized recruiting guidance. This allows us to provide hands-on support, clear communication, and a personalized strategy tailored to each athlete’s goals, level, and timeline.
Highly Selective, High-Touch Support
Meet Our Founder
Ryan Sears is the founder of VB Recruiter and a former elite volleyball athlete from Los Angeles, California. He has been part of the USA National Team program and competed at the highest levels of the sport. Ryan played NCAA Division I volleyball at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Concordia University Irvine, giving him direct experience inside the college volleyball system.
What separates Ryan is his real, in-person network within men’s collegiate volleyball. Through years of competing, training, and recruiting at the highest levels, he has built direct relationships with most men’s college volleyball coaches across the United States, including NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA programs. These relationships are built on trust, shared experience, and credibility, allowing athletes to gain direct access, honest evaluations, and real opportunities with college programs.
Who We Are"We built VB Recruiter because men’s volleyball recruiting is very hard if you do it alone. There are not many scholarships, rosters fill fast, and the timing matters alot. If you are serious about playing in college, you need more than motivation. You need an expert who has been in your shoes, a clear plan, and real connections. That is what we bring, built by former men’s volleyball athletes who have been on both sides of the recruiting game.”
