TUCSON, Arizona - The Arizona Beach Volleyball team has received the 2016 AVCA Team Academic Award, rewarding the Wildcats for excellence in the classroom during the 2015-16 academic year, the association announced on Monday.
The award honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.
UA is one of six collegiate beach teams to earn this academic award. In the NCAA Division I, there were 131 recipients to receive this honor.
"Congratulations to the coaches and institutions that won the 2016 AVCA Team Academic Award," said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer. "It is no accident that a volleyball coaches association recognizes academic excellence as a team, rather than an individual, achievement. Players influence each other, both in execution on the court and discipline in the classroom."
