What has JVA Done to Honor
Our Mission to Date?
Study and Document Japanese Youth Volleyball Programs
• In 2008, we sent two of our members over to Japan for
two weeks to study youth volleyball training methods,
how they train, organize practices, etc.
• Rich Zeciski and Tim Hardt visited a number of clubs,
kept a journal and videotaped their experiences
• That information has been presented at the AVCA
National Convention and put on a DVD that was
offered for a limited time free of charge to our
members. It is still available for $10 for JVA Member
Clubs, $20 for non-member clubs.
www.jvaonline .org
Volley Tots Program
• The current membership model of most junior clubs
looks like a diamond and needs a larger base (pyramid
model) to fund programs and facilities.
• The Volley Tots Program was developed with
information on youth programs from around the world
and consultation with early childhood specialists and
psychologists.
• In the fall of 2008, we hosted the first Volley Tots Tour.
Another tour is planned for this winter. Requests have
come in from New York, Naples Fl., Milwaukee, WI,
Portland OR. Tour stops will be announced in a few
weeks.
www.jvaonline .org
YOUTH and MINI Volleyball
• Provided free seminars at your 2010 Youth Gala
to all participants
– Lynne LeBlanc from Youth Volleyball Canada and
Atomic Volleyball Youth Programs
– Matt Van Wezel of the Netherlands who developed
the youth training program for the Dutch Federation
The clinics and supporting manuals were made available
at no charge to all coaches who participated in the
tournament.
The DVD’s are available for $10/each to JVA Member
Club, $20 for non-member clubs.
www.jvaonline .org
Club Management Education
and Club Services
• JVA is the first to provide Club Management Education with our Junior
Club Management Webinar series. This is the beginning of our initiative to
build a body of knowledge and resources for Junior Club Directors. Four
sessions were presented in October of 2010. The sessions are still
available for purchase at
http://www.avca.org/jva/index.cfm/jva-website/memberservices/education
• JVA has hosted a minimum of three sessions on youth volleyball and best
practices for club directors at each of the AVCA Conventions. Those
sessions have been recorded and are available to JVA/AVCA members.
• JVA secured event insurance for events and individual clubs that were in
need of an alternative to other insurance programs.
• All Players club management system with no user fees.
• Real Time Event Results Management System for clubs to use for their
events at no charge
