League One Volleyball Pro (LOVB) kicks off its inaugural season on Wednesday, as the largest brand in youth volleyball enters its professional era.
LOVB’s debut season will feature six teams playing a collective total of 60 games over 14 weeks of play, with all squads taking aim at mid-April’s league Finals.
Also on the inaugural schedule is a winner-take-all in-season tournament called the LOVB Classic, which will begin on Friday, February 14th, running through the Valentine’s Day weekend.
Capitalizing on markets known for their rabid NCAA volleyball fanbases, LOVB has rooted its six teams in Atlanta, Austin, Houston, Madison, Omaha, and Salt Lake City. Austin’s roster, for example, includes eight former NCAA champions from the University of Texas, allowing Longhorns fans to easily follow recent college stars like Logan Eggleston and Madisen Skinner into their professional careers.
Similarly, Omaha’s lineup will allow the Cornhusker faithful to see University of Nebraska legends Justine Wong-Orantes and Jordan Larson — the most decorated US indoor volleyball Olympian in history — back in action.
