Off the Block presents all the awards in college men’s volleyball for NCAA Division I-II programs without a conference affiliation. The Independent Teams Player of the Year, Independent Teams Freshman of the Year and the All-Independent Team all recognize the best regular season performances from players on independent teams and are selected by the head coaches of independent teams.
