Volleyball has the power to shape lives. The LOVB Foundation helps young athletes stay in the game — and grow into leaders, teammates, and community builders.
Volleyball is the #1 girls team sport in the country, and one of the fastest growing sports for boys as well. The sport matters because it provides a source of joy and connection, a venue for critical life lessons, and ultimately, a pathway to educational and economic advancement.
The LOVB Foundation exists to give more young people access to volleyball and to the life-changing opportunities the sport creates. Working closely with clubs across the country, the LOVB Foundation helps young people get the financial aid they need to stay in the game—and reap lifelong benefits.
Our mission is to increase access to and opportunities through volleyball.
We envision a world where everyone has a chance to play volleyball.
Our donors and the work of the Foundation increase access for players facing financial challenges, opening doors to the many opportunities that the volleyball community offers. Our donors connect the unique benefits the sport provides to those who might not otherwise experience them, through club support and collaboration with local and national organizations.
