For years, Rich Kern has operated one of the best sources of information on Division I volleyball and the best source for tracking Division I recruiting. At www.richkern.com you have a variety of search options. You can sort by player's name, school, home state or club team. Also find other interesting bits of information such as how various conferences fared against each other. This is strictly a Division I site, however, so don't expect to find information on D2, D3 or NAIA.
