4 x Olympic Medalist Jordan Larson & Other Nebraska Volleyball Elites Join in LOVB’s Historic Training Facility Initiative

Remember that moment when Jordan Larson snagged her fourth Olympic medal at the Paris Olympics? Yep, she already had a gold from Tokyo, a bronze from Rio, and a silver from London under her belt! Larson, who made history by earning the USA’s first-ever gold in women’s volleyball at the 2020 Games, is back in the spotlight once again. This time, she’s shining bright with an initiative that’s going to inspire not just her but a whole new generation.

League One Volleyball (LOVB) is shaking things up in the youth volleyball scene with some super exciting news! They’re breaking ground on a massive, 66,000-square-foot training facility in Gretna Landing, Omaha, which is all set to be a game-changer for local players, from little ones just starting out to pros. This new space is part of LOVB’s big plans, especially with their new pro team, LOVB Omaha Volleyball, launching in January 2025.

With their established junior club, Premier Nebraska, already rocking the rankings, this facility is going to amp up the volleyball scenes in Omaha like never before! And guess who’s stepping up to help out? Jordan Larson! The former Nebraska legend is jumping in to lead some training sessions at the new LOVB facility, and she’s bringing along some exceptional talent like Lexi Rodriguez to join her.

Jordan Larson is all about sharing her experience and getting the next generation of volleyball stars pumped up! In a recent chat, she shared her excitement, saying, “I am the living embodiment of LOVB’s commitment to creating pathways from youth to pro.” This is a full-circle moment for her as her journey started with Premier Nebraska and is now becoming a role model.

She noted this saying, “To be able to help increase access to the sport of volleyball and train for LOVB Omaha Volleyball in the same facility as my club roots is an incredible full circle moment for me.” Jordan Larson is super stoked to inspire young athletes in Nebraska, and you can really feel her passion for helping others chase their volleyball dreams!

The LOVB league is stirring up excitement, attracting attention from female-led companies eager to invest in this game-changing initiative. Volleyball is the top sport for girls, with approximately 38 million former and current players in the U.S. This large player base makes it an attractive opportunity for investors and it is just around the corner!

LOVB league and its exciting schedule!

The LOVB League is all set for an exciting inaugural pro season, and fans can barely contain their excitement! It’s kicking off with pre-season games in November 2024 and will run through April 2025, bringing a wave of empowerment for female athletes while creating a lively volleyball community. With six teams hitting the courts in awesome cities like Austin, Atlanta, Houston, Madison, Omaha, and Salt Lake City, there’s a ton of buzz brewing!

The first game is set to make some serious waves with Atlanta squaring off against Salt Lake on January 8! The athletes are ready, and so are the fans to cheer, and the energy is palpable as these teams gear up to make history in women’s volleyball! Oh, and of course, Jordan Larson is one of the key figures training the next wave of talent, making it all the more thrilling!
