Coaches and SIDs – Be advised, we are currently experiencing an issue with the final page of the online nomination form and coaches are unable to upload their athlete’s match-by-match stats. Due to the issue, we have edited the form to allow you to complete the nomination without uploading your MBM stats. After hitting submit, please email Brad Wilson your MBM stats and he will upload them when the issue is fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience!

2025 Division I Awards Changes:
New AVCA Position Specific Awards
This fall, the AVCA is introducing position specific awards to bring more recognition to some of college volleyball’s top athletes. These new awards include:
- Outside Hitter of the Year
- Middle Blocker of the Year
- Rightside Hitter of the Year
- Setter of the Year
- Libero of the Year
The award selections will be determined by the All-American Committee and celebrated at the All-American Banquet on Friday, December 19. Winners will not be shared prior to the banquet.
Increasing All-Region Voting on each Ballot
The AVCA will now require coaches to vote for 20 athletes instead of 14 on their All-Region voting ballot. This change will allow coaches to better vote for the athletes named to the All-Region team and those named All-Region Honorable Mention. When coaches could only vote for 14 athletes, members were unable to properly weigh in on the Honorable Mention selections.
AVCA Awards Region Alignment:
The AVCA uses a DI Awards Region Alignment based upon state lines instead of conference affiliation. Here is map of the regions:
