The AVCA-USMC Battles Won Award recognizes volleyball players and coaches who are overcoming obstacles on and off the court.
As part of this award, which is in its second year, the AVCA gathered nominations and is proud to present the stories of 16 individuals—six coaches and 10 players—in the volleyball community who have faced hardships and come back strong. Their stories are being shared over six weeks this fall, and you can check out the videos of the following people who are redefining courage.
At the AVCA Convention in Louisville, this December, Kari Hemingway (coach) and Reese Roper (player) will be presented with the 2024 AVCA-USMC Battles Won Award.
