The AVCA is offering a demonstrator scholarship to female collegiate indoor and/or beach athletes who are willing to participate in on-court sessions at the 2026 AVCA Convention in San Antonio, TX December 16-19. During on-court sessions demonstrators will be coached by our presenters. Demonstrators will participate in a mixture of drills and 6 on 6 (or 2 on 2 play on the beach court) as presenters share coaching/training strategies with convention attendees.

Demonstrators will be evaluated and selected based on position needs of convention presenters, availability and open responses. The AVCA will provide each selected demonstrator with a complimentary Pre-Convention Seminar and Full Convention registration and housing with another demonstrator. Demonstrators will get a glimpse of what a career in coaching could look like through specialized educational and networking programming.

To be eligible demonstrators must:

– be female
– be on a college indoor and/or beach roster (starting role preferred)
– have an interest in pursuing coaching as a career
– be willing to participate in 6-7 one hour on court sessions

In addition, the athlete’s head coach must be a member of the AVCA to be eligible.

Applications will be accepted 9/1 – 10/19. If you have questions please email Allison Ivetic (allison.ivetic@avca.org)
