The NCAA Transfer Portal is a database that allows student-athletes to indicate their intent to transfer to another school. It was created in October 2018 and has since been used by thousands of athletes in all sports, including volleyball. The portal has made it easier for athletes to find new schools and for coaches to recruit new players.
The transfer portal has had a significant impact on college volleyball. In the 2022-23 season, over 1,000 volleyball players entered the portal. This number is expected to increase in the coming years as more and more athletes take advantage of the opportunity to transfer schools. The portal has given athletes more power and flexibility in the transfer process and has made it easier for them to find the best fit for their academic and athletic careers.
