Questions
How many NAIA women's volleyball teams are there?
NextCommit's coach data lists 207 NAIA women's volleyball programs for 2026. This page shows the 116 whose 2026-27 rosters we could read in full on October 14, 2026.
How many players does an NAIA women's volleyball program lose each year?
The typical NAIA women's volleyball program on this list has 5 players in their last season on its 2026-27 roster. Liberos and defensive specialists are the most common opening: 74% of these programs lose at least one, then outside hitters at 72%.
What does "players leaving" mean?
Players in their last season on the college's 2026-27 roster page: seniors, graduate students and fifth-year players at four-year schools, and sophomores at junior colleges. Redshirt marks do not change the count. Their spots open for recruits who start college in 2027.
Does a player leaving mean an open scholarship?
No. It means a roster spot the coaches have to refill, with high school recruits, transfers or walk-ons. How much athletic aid comes with a spot depends on the level, and Division III schools give none. Some players also get an extra year through a waiver.
Which positions does each school need?
That is Roster Needs, part of NextCommit Pro. It shows the positions each school is losing and filters your coach list to the programs that need your position. This page shows each school's total only.
How should I use this list?
Find schools at your level with players leaving, check which level fits you with the free Women's Volleyball Recruit Score, then email the head coach or recruiting coordinator with your highlight video, club schedule and GPA. Follow up when you have something new to share.
How often is this data updated?
NextCommit reads college roster pages twice a year, after fall and spring rosters are posted. This page shows the October 14, 2026 read of 2026-27 rosters. Schools we could not read in full join the list when a later read passes.
How we got these numbers
We read each college's own roster page on October 14, 2026. Players leaving are players in their last season on the 2026-27 roster: seniors, graduate students and fifth-year players at four-year schools, and sophomores at junior colleges. Redshirt marks don't change the count.
This list shows 116 of the 207 programs in NextCommit's coach data (56%). Schools whose roster we couldn't read in full aren't listed yet. We call a list complete when we can read at least 75% of its rosters.
Divisions are for the 2026 season. Saint Francis (PA) is listed in Division III, where it moved in 2026-27.
A player leaving is a spot to refill, not a scholarship offer. Coaches also fill spots from the transfer portal, some players get an extra year, and a roster page can lag behind the team. Use the numbers to decide where to look, then ask the coach.
