Page 37 - 2020 IHSVCA All-Star Program

The IHSVCA was officially formed in January of 2017. We are a 501(c)(3) organization to help promote high school volleyball in Indiana.
The Indiana High School Volleyball Coaches Association’s (IHSVCA) mission is to promote the sport of interscholastic volleyball in Indiana.
This organization is student-athlete focused. Our main goal is to help our student-athlete receive state and national recognition for their work in the classroom, on the court and in the community. We will also educate student-athletes and their parents with their important decision on choosing a college.
We will assist coaches with skill techniques, drills and game management knowledge with blogs and short videos. Indiana is considered one of the best states in the USA for high school volleyball and we are blessed to have some of the best coaches leading our teams. Learn from seasoned veterans on how to create a winning culture with your program.
Lastly, the IHSVCA will be a strong advocate for our sport. We are solely focused on high school volleyball, our players, coaches and supporters of the game. We will continue to assist Indiana volleyball’s growth and strength in one of the top volleyball states, joining the other state leaders and helping with the explosion of our sport across America.
