CALDWELL, Idaho – Both the College of Idaho women's indoor and beach volleyball programs have been honored with the 2025 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award, recognizing the Yotes for their exceptional academic performance during the 2024-25 season.
The award, presented annually, celebrates teams that achieve a year-long grade-point average of at least 3.3 on a 4.0 scale (or 4.1 on a 5.0 scale). This year, a record-setting 1,450 collegiate and high school volleyball teams nationwide earned the prestigious honor.
"It is very exciting to see that the record-setting, on-court successes during the 2024-25 season have extended to the classroom," said AVCA CEO Jaime Gordon. "The fact that more programs earned the Team Academic Award than ever before is evidence of how committed our coaches are when it comes to helping their players reach their goals as both students and athletes."
The recognition highlights the Yotes' commitment to excellence both on and off the court, as both the indoor and beach volleyball squads continue to thrive academically while competing at a high level.
