Post CIS options in Europe/UK

[canvolleydad]

Hi all, 

Canadian volleyball parent looking to help inform volleyball decisions for post-varsity and graduate school.  

England seems to have pro/graduate school programs, are there other countries/recruiters/programs you would recommend for a female varsity athlete looking to continue playing at a high level, but also attend graduate school?

thanks

I'm not sure about other countries (or at least any I can think of) Just England. 

but here are some people that definitely know more than I do/might be able to assist

Were Canadian student athletes allowed a 5th year to compete due to COVID?

Canadian student athletes already get 5 years of eligibility - not sure if they get an extra year per se, there was no league play for 2020 so some athletes might be in their 6th year of school but will use their remaining 5th year of eligibility

[canvolleydad]

Canadian university volleyball was cancelled completely for 1 year by the national sport org, so it did not count toward eligibility.
