With all the news running about the salaries and transfer fees of football players first and cricketers/baseball players second, and basketball players hanging around the corner, one might wonder what about the fourth biggest deal?
How much do volleyball players make then?
If you can be a professional in the game, you may get the chance to play all around the globe and earn hard cash in thousands and make millions. Unless you use a coach, which some do not, you can have your share all by yourself, minus the taxes and rent.
Salary Range
Usually, when you are starting volleyball, on an average, you make about a little above 40-60 thousand dollars a year, depending on the state you will be living in.
There’s a website called Salary Expert that keeps track of things, and from them, we have South Dakota, Houston, and Miami paying under 30-40 thousand a year, while Maine, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington pay under 35-50 thousand a year. Washington, DC, and NYC pay volleyball players the most from what we saw.
Topmost Salaries
Things change up here, as the states mentioned before go up on their volleyball player’s highest salaries. The trio of South Dakota, Miami go some thousands of dollars above and pay more than 50 grand a year. The second section, Chicago/Washington, pay as much as 65 grand a year while NYC and WDC pay in 70-75 grand and above.
Demand
For that matter, the demand for volleyball players and athletes is expected to go above by 20 percent or more this year. But this is also a job with high turnover as volley players occasionally injure themselves. But if you make the cut to the professional league of volley players, you’re in for it big time.
