The volleyball world is heating up, and new pro leagues continue to emerge while others continue to evolve! The Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF) is getting into action and, in December, they made a groundbreaking decision—the first-ever All-Star Match will take place on February 22, 2025, at Fishers Event Center. This is going to be a real treat for fans as the league’s athletes show their skills in a pure form of volleyball.

And here is the best part–this historic match is going prime time on CBS, which is a major victory for the sport. “The All-Star Match will be a defining moment for our league and the sport of volleyball,” said PVF CEO Jen Spicher and all eyes will definitely be on this event. But just when you thought it couldn’t get any larger, PVF turned the volume up and added an Olympic gold-medalist gymnast to the list of hosts—because why not make history with a little extra flair?

Pro Volleyball Federation steps up their game!

The Pro Volleyball Federation just dropped some serious star power on X, and fans are losing it! They announced that none other than gymnastics legend Shawn Johnson East is stepping onto the PVF stage—but this time, as the co-host of their first-ever All-Star Match!

“Shawn Johnson East is joining the PVF All-Star Match! FOUR-TIME Olympic medalist, entrepreneur, and sports icon @ShawnJohnson will co-host our inaugural All-Star Match on February 22 at the Fishers Event Center! Don’t miss this history-making event and the chance to witness the league’s top talent in action!“ With this legendary collab, the All-Star Match is officially a can’t-miss spectacle, and fans better lock in their seats before they’re gone!

Remember the 2008 Olympic Games? Yeah, Shawn Johnson East won a gold and three silvers there, and so it’s no wonder PVF CEO Jen Spicher is excited to have her on board: “We are thrilled to have Shawn as part of this historic moment for volleyball. Her dedication to excellence, both as an Olympic champion and as an influential voice for women in sports, will bring incredible energy to the event. Her presence underscores our commitment to showcasing not only the sport’s top talent but also the inspiring figures who elevate women’s sports on a global stage.”

And with volleyball now bigger than ever the Paris Olympics gymnastics commentator for Yahoo Sports couldn’t have chosen a better time for her first rodeo with the game.

Pro volleyball has been racking up some insane numbers!

The soaring popularity of college volleyball has hit the pro circuit like a tidal wave and created a revolution! A few years ago, there was only Athletes Unlimited as a pro volleyball organization in the United States, but now? We have three leagues operational and in the process of establishing the fourth. And with such figures, it is not surprising that more and more investors are going all out to invest in the sector and Market.us has estimated that volleyball is going to experience a rapid increase in fans!

Team-branded jerseys, shoes, and all the other accessories will take the industry from $3.9 billion to a staggering $6.9 billion in the next decade. That’s a whole lot of digs, spikes, and dollars rolling in! And if you needed any more evidence that pro volleyball fever is spreading like wildfire, just check out Omaha! Omaha Supernovas, the Nebraska volleyball giants and reigning Pro Volleyball Champions are on rampage with record breaking attendance.

Their 2025 season opener had 13,486 loud fans in the CHI Health Center, which was a record-breaking since their previous record of 12,090 in 2024. Oh, and there was the first match of the PVF between the Atlanta Vibe and the Supernovas on January 28th which drew 11,624 fans which is the largest crowd ever for women’s pro volleyball in the U.S. Bigger crowds, bigger hype—volleyball is officially having its moment!
