The 2025 AVCA-The Marines 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 third year, the AVCA gathered nominations and is proud to present the stories of 16 individuals—five coaches and 11 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 Kansas City this December, two of the honorees will be presented with the 2025 AVCA-The Marines Battles Won Award.
