Beach volleyball is one of the fastest growing women's sport in college athletics. For every high school beach volleyball athlete, 13% of those go on to play in college. Compared to indoor high school athletes that only have 4% go on to play in college. This is due to the growing number of universities adding beach programs every season and full rosters to fill each year.
