The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) possesses an ongoing commitment to the advancement and development of volleyball. A fundamental belief is the importance of grassroots volleyball at the high school and junior club levels. One effort by the AVCA to assist this growth is through the publication, Power Tips. Power Tips, now in its thirteenth year, is the official drill bulletin of the AVCA. It is a publication geared specifically toward a high school/club coach audience; however, collegiate coaches also reap the benefit of its content, including articles about technique and strategy, psychology of sport, nutrition, etc., as well as new volleyball drills every month. From 1990 to 1999, the AVCA gathered more than 300 drills which have appeared in Power Tips. In 1999, with the help of Don Shondell, Ph.D. (former head men's volleyball coach at Ball State University) and Geri Polvino, Ph.D. (former head women's volleyball coach at Eastern Kentucky University), the AVCA and Coaches Choice gleaned the 101 best drills from 92 coaches to add to your collection. Take some time to explore 101 Winning Drills form the AVCA.
