about avba volleyball
The AVBA Youth Volleyball Club was formed in 1996. Almost 30 years ago we pioneered the delivery of a quality volleyball experience for girls in the Ankeny area. AVBA continues to serve our local communities today and has expanded its influence to the entire metro area.
our values
We at AVBA believe the foundation to any volleyball club’s success is having a consistent learning environment and culture in place. To that end, our club’s philosophy is to have a formal teaching structure in place that forms the foundation for how our parent coaches are trained to develop our athletes. While each team’s personality will vary based on the individual coaches and personnel involved, the overall approach and drive for excellence will be guided by AVBA’s philosophy. The benefits of such an approach are numerous. Coaches and players alike will speak the same language, and more often than not be on the same page about the expectations for success. The members of the AVBA community will espouse the same beliefs, ideals, and ambitions.
AVBA’s core philosophy includes the following ingredients that are critical to a volleyball club’s success:
Development of the whole person
We teach and develop our young women to not only excel on the volleyball court but also in school and in life
The community as family
Our strong belief is that through the support of the entire community – coaches, parents, and teammates – Athletes can develop the character, confidence, leadership skills, and work ethic to be successful, both individually and as part of a team
Club characteristics
At AVBA we believe nothing is more important than doing things the right way, with integrity, respect, discipline, sportsmanship, and honor. If we all stick to these beliefs, we cannot help but be successful
Don’t forget to have fun!
