Complete List of Division 1 Colleges with Women’s Volleyball Teams

Division 1 volleyball colleges are known for their extremely competitive level of play, rigorous practices and demanding schedules. Volleyball players at the D1 level were typically standout athletes on the best club teams and usually have many years of experience competing in an elite environment. Though there’s a lot of hard work involved in getting to this level—and staying there—the payoff can make it worth all the effort.

D1 volleyball players benefit from some of the most experienced coaches, well-funded facilities, enthusiastic fans and the reputation that comes with being a D1 athlete. Plus, because D1 volleyball is considered a headcount sport, all D1 scholarship offers are full-rides to that school.
