The AVCA Convention will include a dedicated education track specifically for coaches of men’s and boys’ teams. Led by some of the top coaches in the men’s game, these sessions will explore a range of topics including innovative drills, team systems, coaching philosophy, and effective training techniques. In addition to the educational programming, attendees won’t want to miss the Men’s Coaches General Meeting on Friday afternoon, the Men’s Team Coaches Happy Hour on Friday evening, and the Boys’ Talent Showcase on Saturday morning. The Showcase is a recruiting event designed for men’s college coaches attending the convention and is open to uncommitted and unsigned high school and two-year college players. Please see the schedule below for all men’s and boys’ programming during the convention, and check back regularly for updates as new sessions are added.
