WE ARE THE ILLINOIS VOLLEYBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION
The Illinois Volleyball Coaches Association (IVCA) is made up of dedicated coaches from across Illinois, with the single hope of building the sport of volleyball through knowledge sharing, player and coach recognition, and clinic and training sessions.
The IVCA is a proud member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Signature Affiliate Program, designed to incentivize AVCA membership, advance the high school volleyball community, and establish the AVCA as the official coaching education partner within participating states.
