Each year the JVA sponsors educational sessions at the AVCA Annual Convention, and this year we’ve doubled the number of sessions with 2 hard court sessions, 2 sand court sessions and 4 classroom sessions. The topics are always geared toward the business of junior volleyball and training junior volleyball athletes.
