LeagueApps, the leading operating system and professional network for youth and local sports leaders, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with the Junior Volleyball Association (JVA), a premier club volleyball association with over 1,600 members dedicated to promoting the growth of youth and junior volleyball. This partnership aims to deliver substantial value to JVA members through innovative technology, professional development, and enhanced operational support.

Enhancing the JVA Member Experience

Through this partnership, LeagueApps will become the “preferred registration, payments, and facilities solution” for all JVA clubs, solidifying its role as a trusted technology provider within the volleyball community. The collaboration is designed to address the top priorities of JVA, including providing educational, technological, and operational value to its member clubs.

Key Benefits for JVA and Its Members

Through this partnership, LeagueApps will invest in all aspects of growth and development for JVA clubs—including sponsoring participation in events like the JVA Club Management Track at the American Volleyball Coaches Association Convention (AVCA), NextUp—LeagueApps’ annual youth sports management conference, JVA World Challenge, and JVA Summit. 

Additionally, LeagueApps will sponsor the JVA Scholarship Programs and provide discounted services to JVA members, including waived launch fees, website development discounts, and free website audits.

JVA members will also benefit from LeagueApps’ philanthropic program, FundPlay Foundation, in which it will provide collaborative grants and complimentary tickets to the FundPlay Summit. 

“We want to provide [JVA clubs] with solutions, mentorship, and get them connected in the community of club directors because what we have learned is that our club directors are so willing to give and help,” says Briana Schunzel, Director of Marketing, Education and Partner Development at JVA. “Naturally it makes sense to align ourselves with an organization like LeagueApps who’s invested in the leaders of the junior volleyball community. You’re helping them in so many areas of running their business.”

“It takes a community to do things. From the start with you all we feel like a team,” says Lisa Wielebnicki, Associate Executive Director at JVA. “You wanna have good people on your team.
