The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) kicks off
The American Volleyball Coaches Association, which was incorporated as a private non-profit 501(c)3 educational corporation in 1981, is committed to the advancement and development of the sport of volleyball by providing member coaches with educational programs, a forum for opinion exchange and recognition opportunities. For 10 years, the association called San Mateo, Calif., home; in August 1992, the AVCA moved its staff and home office to Colorado Springs, Colorado, home of USA Volleyball. The AVCA provides a professional network for those individuals and companies dedicated to enhancing the world's fastest growing sport - volleyball. The AVCA has more than 3,100 members and is growing steadily. Members are comprised of national and international coaches, men's and women's coaches for NCAA Divisions I, II, III, NAIA, junior and community colleges, high school, club, youth and Olympic coaches. Other members include former players, officials, media members and other friends of volleyball. As a group, we are committed to the development, growth, advancement and publicity of volleyball throughout the world. The AVCA services its members through many varied functions and only involves itself with activities that best exemplify the image of amateur athletics. Its ultimate mission is to enhance the image and increase the awareness for the sport of volleyball, while at the same time providing educational opportunities for member coaches. The board of directors is instrumental in maintaining the AVCA's sense of mission. A result of the ongoing educational process has been the creation of a coach's code of ethics. Each member coach of the AVCA must sign the code in order to remain a member in good standing. In addition, the association has adopted a gender equity policy and non-discrimination policy.
