The American Volleyball Coaches Association is pleased to announce its 2024 recipients of the Diversity Awards, Coaches 4 Coaches Program, and Demonstrator Scholarships. Through those three programs, 83 individuals will get to experience the AVCA Convention for free.
“It is exciting for us to be bringing the next generation of volleyball coaches to our Convention in Louisville this December,” says AVCA CEO Jaime Gordon. “We are very appreciative to everyone in the volleyball community who has contributed to our scholarship programs and made it possible for a record-number of recipients to attend the 2024 Convention.”
During the event, which takes place Dec. 18-22, the scholarship winners will participate in a series of educational seminars—many of which focus on professional and personal development for coaches—and take part in additional networking and relationship-building sessions.
Diversity Awards
The AVCA Diversity Awards are a key component of the AVCA Diversity Development Team’s efforts to engage coaches as leaders, advance the sport, and continue to move forward with initiatives that lead to substantive change for society and the volleyball coaching profession. The coach development program, which started in 2015, will bring 33 volleyball leaders to Louisville.
2024 Recipients
Coaches 4 Coaches
This member-funded scholarship program was conceived 16 years ago as a way to help provide a head start to young coaches and recent college graduates who have interest in coaching volleyball. This year’s 18 Coaches 4 Coaches recipients join more than 165 program alums, many who have gone on to successful coaching careers.
2024 Recipients
Demonstrator Scholarships
The AVCA is bringing 32 student-athletes to its 2023 Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, to serve as demonstrators for on-court educational sessions during the event. One of the factors in the selection of the demonstrators was their interest in pursuing a coaching career.
