What is the avcaVPI™?
The avcaVPI™ is the only validated indicator of college-level athleticism, created specifically for volleyball. It was created by the AVCA based on feedback from college coaches, in order to increase the use of data-based decision-making in training and recruiting.
An avcaVPI™ score is a composite score of electronically-validated tests measuring:
- standing vertical jump
- arm swing velocity
- height of attack
- two-handed block touch
- pro-agility and acceleration
An avcaVPI™ score allows players to compare their results with other players the same age, others at the same position, or players currently on college teams. View an explanation of avcaVPI™ assessments.
