What is CAP Certification?

CAP= USA Volleyball's Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP).

Coaches and what they teach shape the future of players that look up to them for guidance. CAP is the certification resource for coaches to learn cutting-edge information in the areas of skill development, tactical systems, conditioning, motor learning, mental training and much more. Behind every great player is a great coach...behind every great coach is CAP. As it is with many professions, the more classes and training you have, the more likely you are to be up to speed with the latest thinking and best practices.
