LEXINGTON, Ky. - The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) has released the recipients for the 2024 AVCA Team Academic Award sponsored by INTENT, honoring academic success for high school and collegiate volleyball levels programs.  

The AVCA Team Academic Award recognizes affiliated members that maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale or a 4.1 on a 5.0 scale for the duration of the 2023-24 academic year. 

The Webster University Volleyball program had a fantastic academic year in the classroom and earned an outstanding cumulative grade point average of 3.47. With this incredible success, the Gorloks were named a recipient for this academic honor. 

This past academic year was a record-setting year for the AVCA as the association awarded over 1,400 programs that maintained those academic thresholds. 

"We are pleased that the record-setting success of the 2023-24 season on the court has extended to the classroom, too, as evidenced by more programs earning the Team Academic Award than ever before. This is a great example of how committed our coaches are when it comes to helping their players reach their full potential as both students and athletes." said AVCA CEO Jaime Gordon.
