The NCR Indoor High Performance Program relies on North Country Region coaches to dedicate their time helping our athletes reach the next level!

Why coach in the USA Volleyball High Performance pipeline?

• To work closely with highly invested athletes from our Region
• To maximize recruiting opportunities by working with athletes through the National Governing Body (USA Volleyball)
• To create world-class opportunities for the coaches and athletes in our Region
• To increase your coaching network contacts
• To further build your coaching resume
• To help grow the game of volleyball regionally and nationally

All interested coaches, whether lead coaches or volunteer coaches, must have a current USAV membership, current USAV background screen, SafeSport training and be IMPACT certified prior to working with any junior players.  

North Country Region appreciates the investment coaches make in the lives of our athletes, and the Region’s goal is to create opportunities for our coaches to continue to grow and advance their coaching careers.   Please complete the registration form on this page if you are interested in being a coach with the NCR Indoor High Performance Program!
