2010 WEVA’s Gary Adler Scholarship awarded to Amy E. Hamill:
Amy played club volleyball four years with what she calls her second family, the Xtreme Volleyball Club. Amy also won the Fairport High School Gary Adler Sportsmanship award in her Junior year while playing for their team. Below is the last paragraph of Amy’s essay.

"I received the Gary Adler Award from Fairport High School during my junior year of my high school volleyball team. Therefore, I was interested to learn more about the man behind the award. I discovered that like me, he attended the best high school in the USA, Fairport High School. He shared his love for kids by becoming a teacher and an official. Due to his upbeat attitude and willingness to help everyone, he was respected by his peers and colleagues. Gary was a welcome sight on the court because he was always encouraging and friendly. He exemplified many of the attributes that I have learned from my various coaches and teammates. It became obvious why he was loved and respected because he took a genuine interest in getting to know the players, parents and coaches. It is heartwarming to learn about a man who influenced so many people through such a great sport. I would be honored to receive the Gary Adler Scholarship."

Background Check & Screening

Question: Why does USA Volleyball do background screening?

Answer: There are two primary reasons. The first and foremost, USAV, its regions and its clubs have a professional and moral responsibility to provide a "safe" environment for its members during sanctioned activities. The second reason is brought on by insurance, or lack thereof. Insurance companies have turned to the process of background screening as a "risk management tool" to help reduce potential sexual abuse/molestation claims by identifiying and eliminating individuals that might pose a threat from the group they are providing coverage from.
