Coaches Association (AVCA) is an organization of nearly 5,000 members, incorporated as a private non-profit educational corporation in 1981, as the Collegiate Volleyball Coaches Association.
- The original members of the AVCA were all intercollegiate coaches who banded together to form this particular coaching body. They have been the backbone of the association's existence and a united voice determining volleyball's future. In 1986, during the San Francisco convention, the membership recognized the growing and developing high school and club communities. The name of the association was then changed to reflect these growing constituencies. The original Collegiate Volleyball Coaches Association was renamed the American Volleyball Coaches Association with the intent of responding to and serving all volleyball coaches.
The organization produces a number of publications including Coaching Volleyball Magazine, AVCA at the Net, Volleyball Ace PowerTips and VolleyBiz.
