COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 19, 2024) – USA Volleyball is proud to introduce a new educational course module in collaboration with the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) as part of the Million Coaches Challenge. This initiative aims to train one million coaches in youth development techniques by 2025. USA Volleyball Coach Academy is offering its members free access to this “Connection Based Coaching” course through the USAV Academy.
Learn more about the Million Coaches Challenge.
This three-module online program is designed to enhance coaching effectiveness, boost athlete performance and promote overall well-being. Coaches will develop critical social and emotional skills, and gain valuable insights from experts in the field.
A good coach can change everything. While most coaches recognize the key role they play in promoting youth development and social and emotional skills, they often don’t feel supported in doing so. This is a missed opportunity. It’s time for big, bold action from across the youth sports sector.
Upon completing the program, coaches will be better prepared to guide and mentor their athletes, fostering growth both on and off the court. The course is accessible online through the SportsEngine login via the USA Volleyball Academy button link, allowing coaches to progress through the modules at their own pace.
Offering this member benefit in partnership with the USOPC underscores USA Volleyball’s commitment to providing top-tier educational opportunities for coaches and supporting athlete development nationwide.
