What is Volleyball Athletes?
HOW DOES IT WORK? WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE A VOLLEYBALL PROFILE?
How did it start?
On Sept 2022, before the start of the 2022-2023 OVA season, the Pakmen 16U team’s parents had a meeting.
Besides the regular items to be discussed at the beginning of the season, one parent asked how we can offer the players better online exposure to university coaches.
One idea was to develop a website for the team. This is how the Pakmen 16U girls Gold website came to life. It was called PakmenGirls2025 because of the year the team would graduate.
As a parent, a former high-performance athlete, and a digital marketer, I have come to find out that there are more opportunities for high-performance athletes to present themselves online in this day and age. Specifically for high-performance athletes who would like to continue playing volleyball at the university and college level and further (national team and professional), in Canada and the US.
So, we built the team website and we promoted it online.
TEAM WEBSITE
PROJECT RESULTS
Here are just a few of the results we got in one year
WorldWide Exposure
The website was seen in 45 countries worldwide
Players Exposure
There were hundreds of visitors clicking on the players’ volleyball social media profiles
Website Visitors
On average, there were over 450 monthly unique visitors to the website
Organic Traffic
Over 1,000 visitors found the website by searching online using the name of the team or the players’ name
NCAA Exposure
In less than a year since the website was launched one NCAA Div 1 volleyball coach contacted the team
NCAA Exposure
In less than a month since the 17U roster page was updated (in the second year of the site being online), another NCAA Div 1 volleyball coach contacted the team through the website
The website is fulfilling its goals!
But, we found out that it’s hard to have all players on a team decide to have a team website. Not everyone thinks about or wants a volleyball career after club.
Anyway, we did not give up.
How did the Volleyball Athletes site start?
At the request of few parents, we decided to build this Online Volleyball Resume website with individual profile pages, to fulfill the following needs
PLAYER INFORMATION
Having the most important player information in just one place, online.
PLAYER REFERENCES
Having one online place for each athlete for any important volleyball references. The athletes can update themselves their profiles, through their account.
VALUABLE INFORMATION
Offering enough information to make people interested to see more or to contact the athlete.
AFFORDABLE
Making it all affordable for parents.
If you compare all these results, you will see that the Volleyball Athletes profile page has the most comprehensive information with important details and links to relevant social media profiles (the most important, in our opinion, is the YouTube channel). The Instagram videos are hard to watch. The YouTube channel cannot contain all the personal info.
So, this is where Volleyball Athletes website and profile pages come in handy.
Having a volleyball profile page is the first step in having the right personal information easy to find online.
The second part is our work to optimize these pages to show up on the first page in Google, and we are finding that we are quite successful in doing so.
The third part is about having a tool to help expose your volleyball skills.
