League One Volleyball (LOVB) is making waves across the nation with its ambitions. The Pro Volleyball Federation announced in 2022 its plans to give retired volleyball players a chance to go pro. With that, they also highlighted the massive prospects of women’s volleyball in America by pointing out that there are currently 35 million retired players across the nation. Its bold claims made investors hurry to get a piece of the action.

Now, in the latest development, PVF has received yet more support from the national governing body of the sport. The USA Volleyball has announced that it will be partnering up with the nascent volleyball league to provide “the best professional opportunities to America’s greatest female volleyball players“.
