LOVB Madison announced Wang Simin a few days ago.

LOVB Madison announced Milica Medved.
Fabiana isn't playing, she was replaced by Iga Wasilewska.
Sarah Parsons is not participating (pregnant).
Alexis Hart is also not, she tore her ACL. She was replaced by Vicky Savard.
Heather Gneiting is not as well (personal matter)
Teams may be allowed one or two NCAA players (we don't know any more specifics than that).
Preseason for the teams started this past week.
The branding for the first season is very cookie cutter (will probably sell teams to individual owners/groups in year two/three and allow them to develop their own brand)
Each team has a primarily blue jersey with their own branding as well as one with their team's color blocking.
Atlanta: Pink
Austin: Purple
Houston: Dark Blue
Madison: Neon Blue
Omaha: Green
Salt Lake: Yellow
Each team has their own sponsor on the front and the league one (Revolve, an online fashion store) on the back.
They're going to do marketing/fashion stuff with the Revolve/Spanx/Adidas here: https://www.instagram.com/lovbstyle
The libero jerseys are white with the team color/logo. Unsure if they have a color blocked one or not.
There's going to be a few married name changes.
Annie Drews -> Annie Schumacher
Kelsey Robinson -> Kelsey Cook
Anna Stevenson -> Anna Hall
Zoe Fleck -> Zoe Jarvis
Juliann Johnson is back to Juliann Faucette after her separation.
Assistant coaches were announced a few weeks ago
Atlanta: Yoko Zetterlund (USA/JPN)
Austin: Stacy Sykora (USA)
Houston: Paula Weishoff (USA)
Madison: Giuliano Ribas (BRA)
Omaha: Remi Pourrat (FRA)
Salt Lake: Bruno Château (FRA)
33% of french assistant coach in LOVB , its a much more higher percentage of frenchies then the one of french coaches in bench of the french league !
They got $100 million more in investor funding

They haven't said where games will stream outside of Latin American/Asian countries with ESPN access.
Houston/Igiede needs to be there for the crowd, but hopefully they show up regardless and come support the league.
They should get the aunties to give leis the girls after the matches like how they do for the Hawaii program.

All 6 teams will qualify 
Houston should be one of the top teams anyways, I dont think they'll have trouble being top 4
avid just one question : in NCAA match report , they give 0,5 point for one block assist . what they mean with a block assist ? is it a kill block made by 2 or 3 players , doesnt matter the player who really block the ball ? or its one assist because in a 2 or 3 player kill block, you're not the one who touch the ball ? thanks for your reply

correct.
ncaa statisticians are not trained (they're usually people who work in the athletic department or volunteers) and are positioned on the sideline, not the endline. so they cant really see who gets the block. thats why they award "block assists" to each of the two blockers involved in the play. it doesnt matter who actually blocked the ball, since the other player was "assisting" in the block.
If there's only one blocker they award a "solo block".
triple blocks are rare. sometimes they award it to all three (a half block, which makes box scores messy) or they just pick the middle and one of the pin blockers.
if you want intl/pro style blocking stats for someone, i can get them from the coaches analytics site.
Merci Avid, usefull explanation
okay, what's that new thing LOVB is implementing? double points or something. it's so confusing.
