Aurora, IL – April 2007 – Scoutware, the collegiate athletic industry leader in recruiting communications, announced today that it has signed a partnership with the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).

As part of the agreement, Scoutware receives recognition and is endorsed as a 'Preferred Service Provider,' while the AVCA will utilize Scoutware as a communication and relationship management tool. “The greatest challenge in today’s marketplace is to cut through the clutter. Scoutware does that. Their product gives every coach and program the opportunity to stand out. We know it works from the response of our AVCA members. They are opening and reading our correspondence at a much higher rate than before,” explained Kathy DeBoer, Executive Director of the AVCA.

Scoutware was an exhibitor at the 2006 AVCA Convention held this past December in Omaha, Nebraska, and currently works with more than eighty volleyball programs, which includes men’s and women’s teams at the NCAA Division I, II, and III level.

“This newest partnership reflects our commitment to the volleyball community and being the number one communication tool used by today’s college coaches. The AVCA is a terrific organization, and we’re pleased to align ourselves with them,” commented Scoutware Vice President Andy Clark.

In addition to the AVCA, Scoutware currently has partnerships with University Athlete, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA), Double Pump, The Hoop Group, National Basketball Events, and the V Foundation.
