PROMOTION OF THE SPORT
MaxPreps.com and the American Volleyball Coaches Association are teaming up 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 nation.

The AVCA is constantly looking for ways to promote the sport of volleyball and highlight player and coaching accomplishments. MaxPreps.com gives us an innovative and media-friendly option. Posting your stats to MaxPreps' national database makes your team results and individual player statistics available to your local media, college coaches, volleyball awards committee members, league officials as well as national outlets like the AVCA. As volleyball develops a common statisitical language and your athletes receive recognition for excellence, the profile of our sport will continue to rise on the sports scene.

I don't know why every team, especially the power teams, don't promote the sport. I can only speculate why, but lack of a computer can't be one of them.

Thanks to the readers for the help. If you have news, go to my profile and email me.
