Competition makes us better, but collaboration is the glue to success. JVA Club Directors and Coaches compete against one another across the net all season long, but behind the scenes they are working collectively to progress our sport in a positive direction. The JVA offers many opportunities for mentorship, collaboration and guidance, however, one of the most impactful in person opportunities is the JVA Club Management Track.
This year’s Club Management Track sponsored by A Better Way Athletics, USSCI, and Hudl is on Wednesday, December 14th from 1:00-7:00pm in Omaha, Nebraska during the AVCA Convention and Women’s NCAA D1 Championships. The JVA prides itself on turning gym rats into business rats, by creating opportunities for learning, networking, and yes, also laughter. Check out the schedule below.
