Congratulations to Matt Shubin for making this year's ACVA 30 Under 30 Award List!
"LEXINGTON, Ky. - The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) is pleased to announce its Thirty Under 30 Awards. This award was created in 2009 to honor thirty of the up-and-coming volleyball coaches under 30 years old in the sport at all levels of the game.
|
A nomination period was held in the fall, with the requirement that the nominees had to be younger than 30 years old in 2010. The list of winners was announced in the February/March edition of Coaching Volleyball.
"We are very proud of the smart, energetic young people who are choosing to enter our profession," said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer. "This second strong class of overachievers means the future is bright for both volleyball players and the AVCA."
Of the thirty recipients, 19 are assistant coaches and 11 are head coaches. Nine are NCAA Division II women's coaches, eight are NCAA Division I women's coaches, three are NCAA Division III women's coaches, three coach NCAA Division I-II men, two are from Two-Year Colleges, two are club coaches and one is a high school girl's coach. Two of the recipients double-up as club coaches. Four of this year's recipients - Giovana Melo, Kelly Morrisroe, George Mulry and J.T. Wenger - also received the inaugural award a year ago, as they have continued to demonstrate excellence in this profession."

NCAA Division I schools voted down a sand volleyball override today at the NCAA Convention in Atlanta, meaning the sport may be played at the nation's biggest colleges as soon as next spring.
Following a U.S. gold medal sweep in beach volleyball at the Beijing Olympics, the NCAA last April added "sand volleyball" to its list of emerging sports for women. The emerging sports designation is intended to encourage the development of opportunities for women by awarding NCAA subsidies to colleges that create programs.
|
This decision, however, sparked a battle between the two-on-two beach game and the six-on-six indoor discipline. Sixty-three schools-including former NCAA indoor champions Nebraska, Stanford and Washington in addition to 2009 champion Penn State and the rest of the Big Ten-requested an override vote to take sand volleyball off the emerging sports list. At least five-eighths of schools at today's convention would have had to vote for the override to eliminate sand volleyball.
Today's vote allows schools to continue building varsity programs for the 2010-2011 school year and gives the sport 10 years to develop a following to bump it up to an NCAA championship sport. Emerging sports are given full championship status if 40 or more schools start programs within 10 years.
Opponents of sand volleyball often cited financial constraints heading into today's vote. No school will be forced to compete if it cannot afford to or otherwise chooses not to.
Sand volleyball is expected to be played in the spring, as indoor volleyball takes place in the fall, allowing athletes to play for both teams.
Sand volleyball's status as an emerging sport in Division II has not been challenged. Division III administrators chose not to grant the sport emerging status.
