Form of workAbout LOVB: (League One Volleyball)
League One Volleyball (LOVB) is reimagining women's sports. Launched in 2019, our company is a mission-led sports performance, training and media venture that will change the game of volleyball in the USA and empower new generations of female athletes.
It is a groundbreaking time for volleyball in the US with our historic triple Olympic Gold medals in Women's Indoor, Beach and Sitting Volleyball. Volleyball is already the #1 most played girls' youth sport. There are 38M current and former players today. Of major sports, it's the only one that is women-first (~90% of players are female). But the volleyball market has been almost entirely missed by traditional sports investors, brands, and media.
LOVB will capture this opportunity by building a foundational business with leading youth clubs in the country, which will create an avid fanbase for the best Pro League in the world and use a digital media platform that will connect all aspects of #LOVBforLife. This community-up approach will drive participation and fandom, while enabling greater empowerment for girls and young women living this amazing sport.
