Testimonials
Amie Held, 2018 Coaches 4 Coaches Recipient
“Your generous donations enabled myself and my fellow recipients to not only learn from the best coaches in the world but provided an opportunity to meet and connect with these prestigious coaches. The experiences had, and memories made at my first AVCA Convention are something I will cherish forever and expand on as I transition into the world of coaching.”
Andre Foster, 2022 Diversity Award Recipient
“The AVCA Diversity Award has created an opportunity to cultivate and build meaningful relationships with past and present award recipients. While continuing the education process through various speakers and classes throughout Convention. The relationships that you will build are beyond the court and the game of volleyball and this is an opportunity to learn from those who have been in your shoes and only want to see you succeed and to be the best that you can be.”
Bailey Ortega, 2022 Demonstrator Scholar
“Being a demonstrator for the AVCA Convention fueled my dreams of being a collegiate coach in the most unique way. I made tremendous connections and made memories that will last a lifetime. My days were filled with endless learning and playing the sport I love while surrounded by the best coaches in the game. What more could I ask for?”
