Next Level Volleyball Club is a member of USAV, JVA (in association with AVCA) and AAU.  Our teams participate in events sponsored by each volleyball organization.  While everyone is familiar with our own Badger Region (who is clearly a leader in the realm of volleyball across the country) and USAV volleyball, it’s important to recognize that there are other well organized groups offering excellent competition venues for our athletes.  “JVA is a national association of Junior Club Directors who want to improve volleyball.  The Mission of the Junior Volleyball Association is to promote the growth of youth and junior volleyball through program and resource development, education and events.”  AVCA is an invaluable resource for volleyball coaches.  It produces “Coaching Volleyball” and “Power Tips” – two valuable periodicals for coaches.  The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) was established in 1888 to provide a national governance of amateur athletics at every level and for multiple sports.  The 2010 AAU Volleyball National Championship was the largest event ever held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports with a total of 1150 teams.  Links to the these organziations can be found on our “Links” page.   We invite you to visit each organization’s website to gather invaluable information and enhance your knowledge of the sport of volleyball.
