I am a 5'6" setter (Class of 2027) looking into women's volleyball recruiting. I understand that D1 usually looks for tall setters, but I am only considering D1 programs because I need a full athletic scholarship.

I am not looking at top-tier programs. Instead, I am targeting lower-ranked D1 teams or weaker conferences where I might have a better chance. My strengths are that I am fast on the court and can set from anywhere on the floor.

Which Mid-Major or Low-Major conferences and specific D1 programs should I look into that run a 6-2 offense or welcome undersized setters? Thanks!
