Getting recruited to play College Volleyball

On a recent college recruiting trip, Mackenzie Aries couldn't help but notice the teetering stacks that cluttered the volleyball coach's office.

In one corner was a pile of DVDs. Nearby, a heap of VHS tapes. But not one belonged to Aries, a senior this season at San Dieguito Academy.

Turns out the coach knew all about Aries anyway because she'd spent hours browsing through a Web site the 6-foot setter had built to market herself to colleges.

Aries said the coach told her she didn't even have a VCR anywhere in the building to view recruits' videos.

“She was like, 'That's just ridiculous. Why would I want to do that when I can just double-click and there you are?' ” said Aries, a three-year starter for the Mustangs. “She said this could be the recruiting tool of the future.”

Determined to play volleyball at the next level, Aries – an All-San Diego Section Division III pick a year ago – has taken her future into her own hands, creating an elaborate Web site that showcases her talents.

At the same time, she is proving to be at the forefront of a trend that could open doors otherwise shut for athletes like Aries.
