College Recruiting with AVA
Mandatory Recruiting Meeting Saturday, Oct 3rd. 10am to noon. ALL unsigned 11th and 12th graders are required to attend with at least one parent. All other players and parents are welcomed to attend.
AVA is committed to developing the best volleyball athletes in the Houston area and preparing them to play in college. We will be each athlete's advocate and support her decision to play at the next level. Since we desire to see this goal accomplished, AVA has appointed Christy Crislip as the Recruiting Coordinator to help make this goal a reality. A good example of this was during the 2007-2008 season when all the AVA seniors received college scholarships.
One of the best ways to promote each athlete's talent is to produce a skills video that highlights their strengths and abilities. AVA can easily put this together and encourages each athlete to have one.
We do our best to provide you with all the necessary information needed and will answer any questions you have. For more details, please contact Christy at 281-222-1232 or by e-mail.
2010 Information will be updated soon!
