The Apple Valley Volleyball Club is looking for qualified coaches starting this winter. As a part of our efforts to give our players an opportunity to train and compete at a high level we are looking for highly qualified coaches to take positions at all levels in our program. If you have a passion to help student-athletes improve and grow in volleyball; learn to be strong competitors; and develop sound life-skills — this may be the coaching position for you. If you're a little short on volleyball expertise, but are willing to learn and work at it, our staff will work with you.

| Age divisions: | 11-and-under up to 17-and-under |

Competition starts in January. Most teams will compete in 8-12 events throughout the season some one-day others full weekend events. Each team is likely to head out of town at least once (within 3-4 hours drive time) for a tournament. |
