Mentorship
In the past several years there has been a tremendous turnover in our coaching ranks. Many new, young people have entered coaching. In order to welcome them and assist them in working with our young people, the Michigan Interscholastic Volleyball Coaches Association would like to pair our more experienced coaches with those new coaches. This would hopefully give young coaches an avenue to develop a positive relationship with a more experienced coach throughout the year. Coaches could talk volleyball, share ideas, give guidance, answer questions, assist in planning season activities, and provide ways to better communicate with parents and players. We see this as a way to encourage a positive relationship with coaches from around the state and actively engage them in their state association.
