PROVIDENCE, R.I.– The United States Marine Corps (USMC) and the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced today (July 19) that 1,275 teams have earned the USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award for the 2020-21 season. The Providence College volleyball team was honored among a record setting 243 NCAA Division I programs that earned recognition.
"Even though teams might not have played during their usual season or may not have competed at all during the past year, coaches still found ways to lead their players to academic excellence." said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer. "This is a testament to the important role volleyball coaches play in their players success both on and off the court."
The award, which was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.
