The National Team Development Program is currently accepting coach applications to enlarge the pool of NTDP coaches. Coach involvement and participation is paramount in providing top-level development opportunities for athletes.
Submitting a coaching application does not guarantee participation in future NTDP programming. It only guarantees your consideration, and roles will be selected by NTDP and National Team staffs.
Available staff and coaching roles include head coach, assistant coach and performance analyst. These roles are filled across various disciplines and age groups, which include Boys Beach, Boys Indoor, Girls Beach, Girls Indoor, Sitting, and Beach ParaVolley.
Coaching Opportunities
One of the key principles in athlete development and the National Team Development Program is having the best athletes train with and against the best. The NTDP National Training Series will support that concept with zonal and national programs four times each year. Zonal programs will occur in the fall and spring, with national programs in the summer and winter.
Having an opportunity to be a part of the NTDP Training Series is one of the highest achievements an athlete can reach in 2021, and the coaches involved at these programs must rise to meet a similar standard.
Age Groups
- U15 and up for girls
- U16 and up for boys
NTDP Accelerators will provide opportunities for clubs and regional high performance programs to nominate promising players to receive an invitation to local best vs best training sessions.
These sessions will be organized by USA Volleyball and run in a manner similar to competitive sessions within the NTDP Training Series.
The purpose of Accelerators is to provide opportunities for “next level” athletes to play with and be challenged against the best athletes in a more localized setting. These will likely be held monthly in ways that do not interfere with athletes’ club or school programs.
