About Our Organization

 

AVA was co-founded in 2006 by Katy Garza and Jerry Linch. The two   had previously directed their own clubs and realized the potential of combining their efforts and creating a volleyball powerhouse. The merging of the two clubs has been a success with multiple teams qualifying for the National Championships  (Junior Olympics) and having countless high school seniors sign college scholarships.


AVA is the home to the 2009 USAV National Champions - 18 Performance  Team which captured the Gold in the National Division.  This year we are proudly sending 11 Teams to Post Season Tournaments from ages 12-18.  Thank you in advance for your support of AVA.

Absolute Volleyball Academy (AVA) of Texas is a club volleyball organization dedicated to teaching and challenging girls from ages 6 to 18.  We focus on improving a player’s volleyball knowledge and abilities through skills training, a competitive practice atmosphere and top-level coaches.   We strive to achieve individual excellence within a team dynamic.   AVA attracts some of the best talent from the greater Houston Area and beyond.

Our CAT (Conditioning and Agility Training)  is a volleyball specific training and instructional program designed to help the serious, achievement oriented student-athlete develop the athletic qualities necessary for high performance in any sport and for volleyball in particular.

Absolute Volleyball Academy visibly and actively contributes to the betterment of the community through various civic activities throughout the year. Opportunities for our student-athletes to pass on their training to others and annual service initiatives are important elements of our program.


Thank you for supporting Absolute Volleyball Academy of Texas
