LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY (April 27, 2023) – The American Volleyball Coaches Association is pleased to recognize its 2023 group of Thirty Under 30 coaches.

These rising leaders work hard and are passionate about teaching and helping grow the sport. Thirty Under 30 honors up-and-coming coaches at all levels of volleyball—college, high school, and club—and the recipients serve in a range of roles, from head coach to volunteer assistant to club director. Nominees had to be under 30 as of Dec. 31, 2022, to qualify for the award.

It is a big year for the AVCA’s Thirty Under 30 program, which was created in 2009. The branding is receiving a fresh look, and you will see new logos as the awards are announced. Additionally, a new category will launch this October—Thirty Over 30. These awards will recognize coaches with 30 years of AVCA membership and those who have been coaching volleyball for 30 years.
