The First Point movement to grow boys’ and men’s volleyball

The First Point movement to grow boys’ and men’s volleyball is now powered by USA Volleyball Foundation (USAVF) – the philanthropic arm of USA Volleyball. 

Following the merger of First Point Volleyball Foundation into the USAV Foundation in May 2025, the USAVF  established the First Point Advocacy Council as a group of passionate volunteers dedicated to providing more opportunities for boys and men to play competitive volleyball.  This advocacy group is led by Co-Chairs Sarah Conklin and Kenny Rogers.   Kenny and Sarah also lead the National Committee to Grow High School Boys’ Volleyball.  To get involved with efforts to grow high school boys’ volleyball in your state contact Sarah@firstpointvolleyball.com or Kenny@firstpointvolleyball.com.

To accelerate the growth of boys’ and men’s volleyball and especially to provide more collegiate opportunities, the USAV Foundation established the First Point Specialty Fund to accept contributions designated to grow the men’s game.  For more information about giving to the USAV Foundation’s First Point Fund, please contact Wade Garard at wade.garard@usav.org.

We want to thank the Board of Directors of the USAV Foundation and donors around the country for their support of the USAVF First Fund Specialty Fund.
