Professional leagues in Europe are not necessarily a vertical step up from college. European professional teams are often less organized and have fewer resources most universities in the United States. Depending on where you go, the training may or may not be as strenuous as your collegiate training. Suffice it to say, however, that if you play on or against teams in Champions League or CEV team, the level of intensity will at least match the level of intensity of any top school in the US. And remember, although the training may not always be as intense, the caliber of players is unquestionably higher and more experienced.
