USA Volleyball has teamed up with Human Kinetics to provide print and video resources and online training opportunities for its member coaches through the American Sport Education Program (ASEP), the coaching education division of Human Kinetics. USA Volleyball’s Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP) accepts ASEP’s Coaching Youth Volleyball, Coaching Principles, and Sport First Aid online courses as CAP module equivalents for certification and recertification purposes.
