Being a COACH takes passion and dedication. Being a GREAT COACH often requires additional training.

The Coach Development Program enhances a coach’s ability to provide a higher standard of coaching and learning for their student-athletes. The program will assist coaches both on and off the court while coaching their team. Coaches will receive practical experience and training to improve and develop their knowledge and skills theory, technical and practical coaching areas. The program is during the volleyball club season beginning October and concluding late-April (7 months). Coaches will receive training before tryouts, as well as at match-game feedback. The program also provides coaches with an opportunity to network with other coaches and out-of-town training.

The Mentorship Program - ARVC Volleyball relies on mentoring to change the lives and better the leadership of our coaches. The ARVC Mentorship Program works on the premise that many coaches have the desire for a higher learning and gaining knowledge from other coaching organization, but lack the direction and support that only a positive mentor can offer. ARVC assigns “mentors” to guide these coaches to enhance their normal coaching routines, and track their development throughout the club season.
