Each week during the regular season, the AVCA recognizes deserving college student-athletes for their outstanding play. An AVCA National Player of the Week is named for the different NCAA Divisions in court volleyball during both the men’s and women’s season, and a women’s Beach Pair of the Week is selected in season.

High school Players of the Week also are named in conjunction with MaxPreps; see more information below. 

If you have questions about the College Player of the Week awards, women’s or men’s, contact the AVCA’s Pat Henderson.
