It’s hard to believe we are just nine months away from getting ready to participate in the 2026 USA Volleyball All-Star Championships in Columbus, Ohio. 

That means we need to start securing coaches, and the application process is now up and running. To apply for any of the available coaching positions, click here. (EmailMe Form – 2026 Region HP All-Star Coach Application)

For those unfamiliar with the coaching opportunities, in the Badger Region HP All-Star program, here is the full slate of options: 

 * Tryout coach (volunteer .. no application needed, just email brian@badgervolleyball.org) 

 * Training day coach (work the boys or girls one-day training sessions in late spring). These are paid positions — three per team 

 * Overnight camp coach (assistant at the overnight camp as teams prepare for Columbus). 

 * Travel head coach / assistant coaches (Travel with the teams to Columbus and oversee the operations of your assigned team from tryout through end of competition) — one head coach and two assistants per team 

 The schedule for 2026 is still in the works, but here is what we know at this time:

 * Girls tryouts (late February/early March) 

 * Boys tryouts (late March … mostly March 20 at Baird Center)

 * One-day training sessions (April/May at sites TBA) 

 Overnight camp (Two days during week of July 13 at site TBA)

 * All-Star Championships (Depart July 21. Compete July 23-26. Return July 27)
