What will change for my club when we join LOVB?
The volleyball itself won’t change. You’ll continue to run your club with discretion over tryouts, practices, tournaments, and day-to-day operations — and your club’s unique culture will stay intact. What will shift is how some of your back-end operations are supported. LOVB provides systems and expertise to help streamline operations, so you’ll adopt a few standardized platforms like Paycor (for payroll) and Sprocket (for registration).
Will LOVB mandate which tournaments we have to attend?
No! Each club has full discretion over which tournaments they attend. There are no mandatory tournaments or approval required.
What is the LOVB Coach of Coaches program?
A way to empower and connect every LOVB coach, both professionally and personally, to transform athletes' lives on and off the court led by Jenny McDowell and Eric Barber. As part of the Coach of Coaches program, LOVB offers coaches:
- Monthly Coach of Coaches Meetings: Featuring rotating topics and guest speakers to inspire growth and connection
- Haystack Access: A digital hub for all essential LOVB resources, including:

How does LOVB Pro benefit LOVB Clubs?
LOVB Pro isn’t just a professional league–it’s an ecosystem that actively includes LOVB Club junior athletes. For LOVB Clubs across the country, having a direct connection to the highest level of the sport brings unmatched value. Junior athletes now have the chance to watch some of the best players in the world compete right here in the US, meet them, learn from them and be inspired by them. Direct access to LOVB Pro athletes gives junior players a reason to dream big, set big goals, and see that those dreams are truly within reach.
Being a LOVB Club means being able to offer athletes unique opportunities that set a program apart - like Pro Academies where juniors train with the best, autograph sessions at tournaments that bring real connection and face-to-face interaction, and digital programs like LOVB Notes where athletes receive monthly tips and advice from LOVB Pros who play their position. These experiences create visibility, motivation, and memories that stick. LOVB Pro isn’t just something club athletes watch, it’s something they’re part of.
