Age Group Coordinator Guide
Step-by-Step Guide
The Age Group Coordinators within the volleyball program are very important in the efficient operation of the league. They work hand in hand with the League Commissioner to set up tryouts, recruit coaches, assign players to teams on an equal basis, handout equipment, and schedule practices and games for their age level.
Upon selection each AGC must complete a Commissioner Application at www.vyi.org including a background check. AGCs are also expected to complete a Building Director test immediately after selection.
