AVCA (American Volleyball Coaching Assoc.) Adds New Chapter: Junior Volleyball Directors Association
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) is proud to announce a new partnership with the recently-formed Junior Volleyball Directors Association (JVDA). The framework for a chapter relationship has been agreed upon by the 26-year old volleyball coaches’ organization and the newly-formed directors’ association.
“A partnership with the Junior Volleyball Directors Association gives the AVCA a unique opportunity to engage those involved in the business sector of our sport,” said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer. “We are excited about the opportunity to serve the club directors and their coaches, and to work with them to further our mutual goals of increasing opportunities for children at all levels to benefit from participation in volleyball and enhancing our influence within the larger volleyball community.”
The JVDA, formed near the end of the 2006 calendar year, looks to benefit from the AVCA’s 26 years of professional experience and credibility in the volleyball and athletics community.
Dual membership status will be implemented with each new applicant, as each person gains membership into both the AVCA and JVDA. The agreement also calls for the coaches of a member director’s club to get a membership discount in the AVCA. Membership in the AVCA and JVDA is available immediately; if interested in membership, please contact Wendy Payne at the AVCA (866-544-2822) or go to the AVCA website (http://www.avca.org/MemberJoin.asp).

IMPACT Certification
Click on the "Clinics" button on the upper left corner of this page for the Impact Clinic schedule. Every junior coach must attend an Impact clinic.
IMPACT is Increased Mastery and Professional Application of Coaching Theory. Emphasis is on drill development, principles of learning skills, resources, athlete safety, legal and moral responsibilities, and ethics. It is the minimum requirement for any coach in the USAV Junior Program. Courses are offered November through February of each season.
Impact Plus Clinics are approximately 5 hours in length and include an on-court component. Impact Clinics are approximately 3 hours and are classroom only. Both clinics include the USAV IMPACT Manual.
Impact Clinic Procedure
The cost of the Impact Plus certification is $50 (minimum 5 hour curriculum & includes court time). The cost of the Impact certification (3 hour curriculum, classroom only) is $30. Reminder: Assisant Junior coaches that have not yet reached the age of 18, who by region policy, must be accompanied by an Impact certified adult at all times, are required to be Impact certified.
Clinics are scheduled in November, December and January in various areas of the region. The schedule will indicate whether the clinic is an Impact Plus clinic or simply an Impact clinic. Send the completed Impact Clinic Registration form (found on the Forms page) with payment to the region office at least 10 days prior to the clinic date to allow time for the region office to send materials to the Impact Clinician. The club director will receive an email confirmation with site directions to distribute.
If an individual is unable to attend the clinic they have registered for, they must contact the region office prior to the clinic to be reassigned to another clinic. If an individual does not show up for a clinic and the region office has not been notified, the club will forfeit the registration fee. Emergency situations will be handled on an individual basis. A partial refund will be made if the Operations Director considers an emergency situation appropriate.

Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP)
CAP is an acronym for Coaching Accreditation Program. CAP is a program through USAV and offers five levels. Badger Region offers Levels I and II every other year. Level I and II are for coaches of all kinds: colleges, junior clubs, high schools, middle schools, or anyone who wants to advance their coaching knowledge.
Level I topics include: effective teaching methods; organizing and administering a program; innovative drills and practice design; developing playing systems; and, observing and applying the methods presented. Level I requires 2 days of instruction by USAV CAP cadre and successful completion of two standardized tests. CAP Level I course includes the ASEP study course.
Level II topics include: techniques and tactics to coach the setter, teaching blocking tactics and techniques, teaching the 5-1 and 6-2 offensive systems and developing an effective team communication system; resistance and jump training presented in cooperation with the USOC; studying effective, responsible methods for coaching social differences within the game. Level II requires 2 1/2 days of instruction, completion of two tests, submission of a 1,000 word original manuscript within 12 weeks of course completion, and attendance or instruction at a minimum of one non-CAP coaching clinic after the Level II course attendance.
Academic credit is available through the University of Colorado for Levels I, II, and III. This applies for graduate and under graduate credit. Courses are one full credit. Request information when registering. Level III, IV and V are designed to begin understanding of national and international experiences. Contact USAV for information on these courses.
