EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Purple Aces head volleyball coach Manolo Concepcion will represent the University of Evansville program at several USA Volleyball National Team tryouts over the next month.
 
"I am extremely excited to be part of this project at the national team level of USA Volleyball, especially because of my passion for long term training and development of athletes of all ages, and the potential for professional growth as a coach and as a leader," Concepcion said.  "This is a great step for our program and city as well, as it continues to increase the awareness for our university, while it also encourages youth and junior athletes around the area to aspire for High Performance opportunities."
 
Concepcion will be working on the tryout staff, assisting them with running drills and evaluating athletes for the USA Volleyball National Team pipeline.  He will be working two tryout dates in Indianapolis as well as one apiece in Nashville and Kansas City.  His first work begins today and the final takes place on April 20.
 
Coaches from around the country work with USA Volleyball at these tryouts.  There are approximately 30 in different cities around the United States.  Concepcion is working specifically with the High Performance Tryout.
