USA Volleyball is the official governing body for the sport in the U.S., so familiarize yourself with its rules and practices. When you’ve been bitten by the volleyball bug and want to start your own club, you have options for going it alone organizing casual competitions for fun, or joining a national organization like USA Volleyball that offers regional outreach services giving members an opportunity to participate in nationally recognized competitions. Volleyball is a competitive sport, and the spirit of competition that can get players and their families all fired up and determined to win can also lead to occasional conflicts, like losing important players to competing teams and dealing with bruised or inflated egos.
