The United States Volleyball Association (USVBA) was created in 1928. Now

known as USA Volleyball (USAV), the association is the National Governing

Body for the sport, and the parent organization of the USA Men's and Women's

National Teams.

It is the USAV mandate to nurture all variations of the game (indoor, grass,

sand, six-person, doubles, coed, etc.) at all skill and age levels.

USAV responsibilities include supporting a year-long training schedule for the

Olympic Teams; USA Youth Volleyball (ages 7-12); the Junior Olympic

Volleyball program (ages 12-18); U.S. Open Championships by age groups; the

USA Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP); establishing rules of play in the

U.S.; and certifying referees and scorekeepers.
