How It Works

TWO TRACKS.
ONE PLATFORM.
ONE STUDENT-ATHLETE.

Set Point runs two tracks in parallel: the recruiting journey (finding and committing to the right program) and the readiness journey (making sure you're actually prepared for college and beyond). Here's how both work.

From profile to committed

Step One

Build your whole-person profile in 10 minutes.

Your recruiting profile is more than a stats sheet. Set Point captures your complete story: position, height, graduation year, GPA, intended major, club team, highlight video, references, and tournament schedule. Everything a college coach needs to start evaluating you โ€” in one place.


Profiles are optimized for how coaches actually search โ€” not what platform salespeople think they want. Our profile format was designed in direct collaboration with D1, D2, and D3 volleyball coaches.

Step Two

Set Point scans every NCAA roster for graduation gaps.

This is the feature most families have never had access to. Set Point's roster intelligence engine scans every Division I, II, and III volleyball program's current roster, identifies which positions are graduating when, and flags programs that will have openings at your position during your graduation year. Other recruiting platforms charge over $1,000/year just to access this data.


Instead of guessing which schools might be recruiting, you see exactly which programs have real needs โ€” and can target your outreach where it has the highest chance of success.

Step Three

Get your personalized match scores.

Our patent-pending matching algorithm combines the graduation gap data with your complete athletic and academic profile to generate a match score for every NCAA program.


The result: a ranked list of schools where your athlete is genuinely likely to fit โ€” and genuinely likely to be recruited. No pay-to-play. No sponsored results. Just data.

Step Four

Reach out the right way with the Email Coach.

Getting a match score is only half the battle. The other half is knowing how to reach out. Our Email Coach drafts personalized outreach emails for every school on your list โ€” referencing their specific program details, recent performance, coaching staff, and the graduation gaps you've identified.


These aren't generic templates every other family is sending. They're specific, professional emails that coaches actually read โ€” and that get real responses.

Step Five

Track, follow up, and commit to the right program.

Set Point tracks every email you send, shows you when coaches open your message, and helps you manage your follow-up calendar. Never miss a dead period. Never forget to send a follow-up. Never lose track of where you stand with each program.


When offers start coming in, we help you evaluate them against your academic and athletic goals โ€” not just the prestige of a logo. The goal isn't to get any offer. It's to commit to the right one.

Track 2: The Readiness Journey
From freshman year forward โ€” always free
A

Know where you stand with the Readiness Score.

The College Readiness Score is the first thing you see when you open Set Point. Five categories โ€” academic prep, NCAA eligibility, career readiness, college engagement, and profile completeness โ€” each graded and each with a specific next step. You always know exactly what to work on.

B

Track eligibility โ€” before it's a problem.

NCAA eligibility requirements are more complex than most families realize. The Eligibility Tracker monitors core courses, GPA, and test scores in real time โ€” and flags any gaps before they become crisis moments. Start tracking in 9th grade and walk into your junior year fully prepared.

C

Explore careers before you commit to a school.

The Career Explorer helps student-athletes connect their academic interests to potential majors and career paths โ€” and cross-references that against whether their target schools actually have strong programs in those areas. Pick a school for your whole future. Volleyball included.

D

Understand the real cost of college.

Athletic scholarships vary wildly by division and school โ€” and they rarely cover everything. The Financial Aid Estimator gives families a realistic picture of aid potential, net cost, and scholarship ranges for every type of program on your list. No sticker-shock surprises when offers start coming in.

Why both tracks matter

Recruiting gets you on a team. Readiness determines whether college is the right experience, the right fit, and the right springboard for your career. The families who start both tracks early โ€” from 9th grade โ€” make better decisions, find better matches, and arrive at college prepared. That's what Set Point is built for.

How our match score
is calculated.

Our match score is a weighted composite of multiple factors, all derived from real data. Here's exactly what goes into it and how much each factor matters.

Roster gap data is updated daily from official NCAA sources. Match scores are recalculated automatically when roster changes occur โ€” so if a key player commits or transfers, your match scores update to reflect the new landscape.
