It’s called the NATIONAL VOLLEYBALL ASSOCIATION aka NVA! The league will be officially launched in Las Vegas from December 8th-10th. According to their website, the NVA is “shaping volleyball for the future through focus and professionalism”.
Take note, this league is NOT affiliated with the professional league that the new USA Volleyball CEO is working on.
There are 8 teams registered and they are Academy United, Arizona Sizzle, Blizzard Volleyball, Chicago Lights Out VBC, Icemen, Rising Tide, Team LVC & Team Pineapple. Some notable players competing in this league are 2012 Olympian and middle blocker Russell Holmes (Blizzard), AVP’s and professional beach player Taylor Crabb (Academy United ) and 2008 Olympic gold medalist and Lloy Ball (Team Pinaapple)
THE NVA:
Going Pro. Two driving words on the mind of every aspiring athlete, except volleyball players. Until now the words Going Pro meant going overseas to compete with the top athletes in the industry. The National Volleyball Association is here to change that. It’s time to bring the excitement, perspiration, and competition of a professional volleyball league to the United States of America.
A country driven by team spirits and competitive sports is in need of an organization such as the NVA to bring the spotlight to Volleyball and its elite athletes.
NFL, MLB, and NBA are all household names with a goal to cultivate and showcase the best of the best in their sport. With the finest staff in the volleyball industry, it is NVA’s mission to become the next iconic sports league.
Since 2013 Blizzard Volleyball has been in the forefront of fostering the careers of Volleyball players in the USA. With the experience we have gained through domestic and international competitions and events, we are able to carry the top talent into the future of volleyball here in the United States.
