WELCOME TO THE FLORIDA REGION AWARDS PAGE!We have some of the greatest volleyball people in the Florida Region and they deserve recognition for their hard work and commitment to further the sport! Many thankless hours go into coaching a team, running a club, attending clinics, getting certified, planning events, and improving our Region every year.
Additionally, this annual event is where we award our scholarships to the very deserving high school seniors that are selected. We are very appreciative for the great partners and sponsors that make our scholarships possible. |
