what do you think about serenat siir yaz from turkey, does not she play well? -
She found her way into the lineup for Clemson playing in 31 of 33 matches and 112 of 125 sets. Though mainly as a serving specialist and reserve.
Here are the stats for her team
http://clemsontigers.cstv.com/…s/2009-2010/teamcume.html
It is tough for freshman to crack the lineup especially with two senior in front of her. But all in all I'd say a slightly disappointing start to Yaz's NCAA career.
I only listed the international players among the final 8 teams. I will post a much larger list within the next week

USAFan can You tell me where are playing now USA players, who played in World Grand Prix 2009?
-
Hey..do you know about the setter Betina from Brasil? I didnt see her in your list...She was second setter from Rexona team here in Brasil last season and were champion, and she left to go play in a university in USA...at least is what I heard...
-
She is playing at an NAIA university, Fresno Pacific. She redshirted the 2009 season, her team was able to capture the NAIA national championship. The players I listed are in Division 1, the highest level of collegiate play. NAIA is an alternative division where it is easier for international students/players to start in.
http://www.fpuathletics.com/roster.aspx?path=wvball&
All of the players on the USA Grand Prix team in 2009 have already graduated and they are either playing abroad or finishing up their education. Players can only compete for four years and Hugh McCutcheon opted for more experienced players who already graduated from college.

Thank you very very much : Justyna and USAfan.
This is the first time I have had detailed information about US university volleyball.Before that I just knew that some present mega stars in US national team like Logan Tom, Nancy Metcalf were once also super star in their college years.But I never thought that so many foreign students participating in the US college volleyball.And some of them are so tall.OMG 6'6",she could be a big center in basketball.As to Betina I wonder why she gave up Brazilian professional league to pursue US college league.Sorry I don't mean to belittle the US college volleyball.But you know the genernal level of Brazilian superliga is higher than NCAA or at least NAIA.I admit I didn't watch any match of NCAA,just based on the players' fame.Sorry if I am wrong please let me know.So it seems Betina thinks more of studying than volleyball at present.Do you know which her major is? I am curious.Thank you.
-
Yeah..I think is not that she gave up volleyball..but she is more thinking in her studies right now...she is excelente player and a lot of people think that can be a future setter of our National Team..
THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION USAfan!
She was the setter and capitan from the junior National Team that were World Champions in 2007.

The level of play in the NCAA is not as high as Brazil's Superliga, but it is important to remember all of the players are pretty young. For the most part players are 18-22 years old. The benefit of the NCAA is that players can not only continue to develop in volleyball, but they also receive a great education.

Nikole Fawcett is a great player!
This Alisha Glass has some relative to Kim Glass?
I think NCAA is really nice for that reason..cause players can study same time as play..I only feel sorry for the fact that there is no major league for volleyball after college. USA always makes incredible sports leagues, and would be nice to have one for volleyball too...also cause players could continium their game in there, instead of having to leave the country to play in other league.

WNVA to Announce Professional League Plans at AVCA Convention12/16/2009
< back
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- A revolution is on the horizon in the world of team sports as the Women's National Volleyball Association (WNVA) fills the vast void between the exceptional popularity of volleyball nationally and internationally and the absence of the indoor game as a professional sport in the United States.
The inaugural announcement press conference will take place at 3 p.m. Thursday, December 17 during the American Volleyball Coaches Association Convention at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, FL.
Ron De Shay, the owner of the WNVA, plans to shine light on American indoor volleyball athletes who are revered overseas but basically ignored here in the U.S.
"Developing the WNVA has been a passion of mine for some time now. This ... creates the opportunity for the dreams of so many others to be fulfilled," said De Shay, who is also the Senior Producer of the country's No. 1 television show, "American Idol."
De Shay -- who plans to be the first to launch a pro sports league via a reality show -- has surrounded himself with a competent team to help make his dream of the WNVA a reality.
Leigh Steinberg and his company Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment, is part of that powerful arsenal. Steinberg is widely recognized as the country's leading sports agent. He has represented over 150 professional athletes in football, baseball, basketball, boxing and Olympic sports. The CEO of the company, David Meltzer, is excited to help level the playing field between the sexes.
"This new association fits perfectly into our core competencies of sports, business, and television. With the unique approach that we are taking, the WNVA will provide the shot in the arm women's professional sports has desperately needed," Meltzer said.
On the WNVA website (http://www.thewnva.com) fans can rally for their city to host a team via video campaigns. And on the reality television show, viewers will watch the athletes compete for a chance to make history as the first to play professional volleyball in America.
Media must RSVP for the Press Conference. For more information please contact Jocelyn R. Coleman, Favor PR, 323-330-0502, jcoleman@favorpr.com
