MaxPreps and the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) will team up again each week throughout the fall season to select Players of the Week.
EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. --- MaxPreps and the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) are entering another year of partnership in an effort to promote high school girls volleyball and highlight accomplishments of the nearly 400,000 student-athletes participating in the sport annually throughout the entire nation.
MaxPreps will continue to serve as the official statistics and results provider for the AVCA's High School Player of the Week program and the AVCA's Under Armour Girls' High School All-America program. 2018 will be the 11th year of the program.
Coaches must submit statistics to MaxPreps in order for their athletes to be considered for both programs.
Each week the AVCA will choose an athlete in each of the 50 states who had a great week in play to receive the award.
The first Fall 2018 Player of the Week selections will be made on Monday, August 13.

"Every player has the opportunity to win this award. If you have a great week and your coach enters your stats into MaxPreps, you can win." MaxPreps Volleyball Cordinator Megan Nelson said. "You don't have to be on the best team in the nation or even be the best player on your team. This program is unique in that way; every athlete has the potential to get recognized."
MaxPreps publishes schedules, scores and standings for each of the nearly 17,000 schools participating in girls' volleyball across the country. MaxPreps also provides high school coaches with free team pages, statistical software and a variety of other free services.
The American Volleyball Coaches Association, based in Lexington, Ky., is the national leader in volleyball coaching education. With a membership of over 7,000, the AVCA supplies educational materials, creates media content and provides recognition opportunities for coaches and players at all levels of the sport.
For the 2017 campaign, 500 individual athletes were selected. Winners receive a MaxPreps/AVCA branded letterman's patch and recognition on both MaxPreps.com and AVCA.org.
For a player to be nominated, their coach must enter the athlete's game stats into MaxPreps.com by Saturday evening to be eligible for that week. If your state is not listed or you need access to login and post team stats, please
