About the JVA

History

JVA was formed in 2006 when a concerned group of club directors met in Chicago to discuss the long term direction of junior volleyball.  These directors, the junior club athlete and their families, faced a governing body that offered their primary financial supporters a disproportionate voice in decision making, rapidly inflating costs, especially for top teams to qualify to compete in the Open Division of the USAV Junior National Championships, and a season that offered athletes few off-season days.  The JVA is a network of individuals and organizations dedicated to enhancing and developing junior club volleyball.
