Subject: AVCA/NCCAA Partnership

Dear NCCAA Division II Volleyball Coaches,

The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) have recently established a new partnership and are excited about the opportunities it will create for YOU!

 The AVCA works to develop and grow the sport of volleyball by providing a professional network for those individuals and companies dedicated to enhancing and developing the sport. Membership is comprised of national and international coaches, collegiate, high school, club, youth and Olympic coaches, as well as club directors.

The AVCA is proud to honor on and off the court successes of our member coaches and their student-athletes through our many awards programs. For the fall of 2009, the AVCA has created an Awards Program designed specifically for coaches and student-athletes affiliated with the NCCAA. This program will include:

·         NCCAA Division I and II America Teams – One fourteen-member team for both Divisions I an II, recognizing the top athletes in the NCCAA.

·         NCCAA National Player of the Year – recipient will be flown in to the AVCA Annual Convention and properly recognized at the All-America/Player of the Year Banquet.

·         NCCAA National Assistant Coach of the Year (NEW!) – recipient will be formally recognized at the jostens Coaches Honors Luncheon at the AVCA Annual Convention.

·         NCCAA National Coach of the Year – recipient will be formally recognized at the jostens Coaches Honors Luncheon at the AVCA Annual Convention.

·         Team Academic – honors volleyball teams at the high school and college level that are successful in the classroom. In the 2008-09 season, the AVCA recognized 409 teams, setting a new all-time high!

·         Victory Club – recognizes milestone achievements in coaching.

Not only would you be eligible for recognition for your student-athletes, institution and yourself, but an AVCA membership gains you access to a variety of coaching educational resources covering topics that include volleyball drills, marketing and promotions, offensive and defensive systems, coaching strategies and conditioning through the award-winning technical journal Coaching Volleyball magazine and electronic newsletters At the Net, Volleyball ACE Power Tips, and VolleyBiz.

Don’t wait any longer! Head coaches must be an active AVCA member by October 16, 2009 to be eligible for post-season awards programs! Attached you will find a membership form that you can fill out and remit with payment to the AVCA. You can also sign up for membership by visiting the AVCA Web site at www.avca.org.

We look forward to having you as a part of our team!
