Thank you for the update! May I ask how many foreign players are allowed per club (so far, I can see different teams have different numbers but I am unsure if Puerto Rico is considered "foreign"). Or do they even have a limit?

Teams can have three foreign players.

Puerto Ricans are not considered foreign.

Maya Tabron is not considered foreign either (dual citizen)

Thanks! That's what I assumed but I'm not 100% sure.

The Supernovas are leaving PVF at the end of the season for a new league (Major League Volleyball)

PVF is done.

Garotta mentioned it last May. so its been a minute.

but ugh.

this is usavolleyball's fault. there's quite literally over $300 million being invested into pro vb rn in the USA and we're going to have nothing to show for it.

They could have some PR strategy at least. So many celebs kids play volleyball like Gisele's 182cm daughter who is like 12 or something and Jamie Fox's daughter also plays volleyball he goes to her games. There's also Gigi Hadid etc

now imagine they used that money to invest into the structure that wnba and nwsl have....

now we have three ventures... which most will fail within two years...

all for them to just end up back in A1/Turkey anyways.

womp.

using children for promo is an ick.

their PR strategy of launching it during the middle of their PVF season is bizarre.

Mixed feelings about it. First and foremost it’s a complete mess of course, but I was also disappointed at PVF itself, so maybe it’s not a completely bad idea if one of the PVF team’s owner feels the same way and decides to build another league to compete with LOVB?

PVF seemed to settle themselves to be the 2nd tier league like the serie A2 in Italy. They failed to sign any elite players in the US or from abroad just in their 2nd season, even though they have been doing pretty well at marketing and appear to have a growing fan base. Nearly all the best players you could name in the US are in LOVB. It appears to me that PVF could only sign those not good enough for LOVB and from Puerto Rico.

The question will be what this “Major League” can bring to compete with LOVB to attract the best players in the country and the fans. If the big names are all still sticking with LOVB, they will just be another PVF. Or are the owners rich enough to buyout LOVB as well and merge it into one real major league as we all dream of?

PVF doesnt want to be a second league, which I see as a problem.

Part of that problem is they do a lot of things better than LOVB... just the volleyball itself (and some of their leadership) sucks.

i bet all three of them flop by LA2028. I just dont see a viable path for the three (I imagine PVF will last maybe a season or two more)

Oh, but I kinda like PVF more than LOVB.

I think they do many things better than LOVB in terms of marketing (how it is promoted, organization, and engagement of the clubs and the fans). I feel like PVF is the league that "casuals" can enjoy and root for (helping grow the sport in the country), while the LOVB is where the future of US NT plays (very professional and a lot less hyped).

PVF's local marketing is very much better than LOVB's.

So is their broadcasting.

other than that? pass. lol

I love seeing Beason perform well! Beason and Edmond together is fun to watch!

It seems Orlando Valkyries is the team to beat in PVF

San Diego Mojos vs. Orlando Valkyries result - 1 - 3 with Valkyries winning:

Abercrombie - Pornpun connection is still really good even during their IBK days.

Pornpun got injured during the match unfortunately, a sprained ankle after she landed wrongly after jumping for a block

Pukis came in and played even better for Orlando in Set 4, nice high sets.

I think Pornpun was tired after the consecutive Away matches, her sets were pretty low and led to some blocks

Atlanta, Orlando and Omaha are the top three teams respectively in the Preseason Selected Order

Oh I haven't watched that far in the match yet. Hope Pornpun recovers well.

Sidenote, I am very much amused at the fact that most announcers in PVF use her nickname "Chompoo" as her name in the league. I think it's because both of her actual names are hard to pronounce for the native English speaker (especially her Pornpun name; I've heard many English speakers emphasize the "Porn" part - which leads to some embarrassing exchange).
