The American Volleyball Coaches Association is proud to name its 2024 Thirty Under 30 High School Awards recipients. AVCA’s Thirty Under 30 Awards Program, which was created in 2009 to honor up-and-coming coaching talent at all levels of the sport, was expanded in 2016 to include a category for high school coaches.
This year’s 30 high school recipients are a diverse group, representing 24 different states. They serve in a variety of roles, ranging from varsity and JV coaches to girls and boys coaches.
In order to be considered for the honor, high school coaches meeting the proper age requirement must be an AVCA member and actively coaching high school/interscholastic girls and/or boys volleyball.
