Who we are and what we are looking for:

LOVB is the largest Girls Volleyball ecosystem in the world. We own the third most competitive professional volleyball league globally, featuring 17 Olympians including 10 members of the 2024 Silver medal-winning U.S. Women’s National Team.

Our Professional Teams Are Based In:
Atlanta, GA
Austin, TX
Houston, TX
Madison, WI
Omaha, NE
Salt Lake City, UT

LOVB also owns 61 volleyball clubs and over 1,800 volleyball teams nationwide. By July 1, 2025, we will own 75 clubs and approximately 2,300 teams. By the end of 2028, we expect our ecosystem to grow to 12-16 professional teams, over 200 youth volleyball clubs, and more than 7,000 volleyball teams.

Current and Future Tournament Schedule:
LOVB’s tournament calendar currently includes over 150 one-to-three-day events across 20+ states. By 2029, we aim to host over 500 tournaments, including 50+ regional events and 10+ national "fly-in" events.

Economic Impact of Tournaments:
1 Court = 8 teams x 50% out-of-town participants = 4 teams x 10 families = 40 hotel rooms per night.
For a 2-day event, 1.5-night stays generate 60 room nights. For a 3-day event, 2.5-night stays generate 100 room nights.
For a 16-court event, a 2-day tournament would generate approximately 960 room nights, or 640 room nights on peak.

Just as our clubs are the heart of the American volleyball community, they are also the heartbeat of LOVB. LOVB junior clubs are pushing the next level of player and coach training and development. And with LOVB’s community-up model, each pro team is tied directly to their local LOVB clubs, creating a real pathway for American professional volleyball to be built from the grassroots up.
