Regional Power rankings drop in to bring an update to individual player rankings, region by region, earning top billing along with this year’s High School Watchlists on this month’s coverage marquee.

The Recruiting Routes segment will tap the minds of some of the collegiate game’s coaching leaders, at all levels, to help better understand the recruiting process, and practices, across the country.

Athletes can claim their free Player Profile to update commitment information to be included in our weekly commitment updates, highlighting the always active commitment trail. Updates may also continue to be sent to editor@prepvolleyball.com, or tagged on Instagram and X @prepvolleyball, to be included in our weekly spotlight features. as well. Be sure to include athlete's position, high school, state, height, and of course, the institution they've committed to.

We make our first tops on this season’s high school event calendar, heading down to the Lone Star state for a stop in at Volleypalooza, as well as the first leg on the Nike Tournament of Champions tour, taking place this year, in Gainesville, FL. We’ll be on scene for event previews, including recaps, our Supernova and Star picks, as well as our All-Tournament selections!

The Around the Block podcast is rocking and rolling with our first three episodes up for listening wherever you listen to podcasts. Tune in for our staff to discuss happenings in the game, add a touch of depth to our coverage, and share the occasional laugh while celebrating the teams and athletes we are privileged enough to have the opportunity to give a spotlight to. 

All this and more is on the way, This Month at Prep!
