Local Events & PRO Operations Manager

About 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 enterprise 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 creating a strong club business and from that built-in audience and fandom create the best Pro League in the world and use a digital media platform that will connect all aspects of LOVB.

This community-up approach will drive participation and fandom, while enabling greater empowerment for girls and young women living this amazing sport.
