The NoVA Volleyball Alliance connects volleyball enthusiasts with volleyball leagues, tournaments, clubs, drop-ins, meet-ups, camps, clinics and private lessons in Northern Virginia (NoVA). It's a free public resource for players, coaches and Alliance partners intended to demystify the sport by providing clear information and relevant news to promote and grow volleyball in the area.
After a decade, the NoVA Volleyball Alliance website will shut down in June 2025 unless a new volunteer Head Editor steps forward. If you have the passion to keep the region informed on the latest volleyball developments, shoot a note to novavolleyballalliance@gmail.com. |
