NOVUS Extends Partnership with the Volleyball League of America

We’re excited to announce our extended partnership with the Volleyball League of America (VLA), marking a new milestone in our commitment to supporting purpose-driven athletes nationwide. As one of NOVUS’s earliest league-wide partnerships, this collaboration reinforces our dedication to empowering athletes both on and off the court.

The VLA, a fast-growing professional volleyball league, provides a platform for former collegiate and professional athletes to continue competing at the highest level in the U.S. With over 60 teams, the league crisscrosses the nation, from Long Beach, California, to Fort Wayne, Indiana, showcasing top-tier talent and fostering a vibrant volleyball community. NOVUS will continue to outfit all VLA teams with our custom jerseys, team apparel, and day-to-day gear, designed to perform at every level.

As a competitor, coach and business man, I can tell you no one does a better job than NOVUS in supplying the VLA and clubs all around the country in gear and athlete/team support. The guys at NOVUS....get it! They have high quality products with first class service. The Volleyball League of America is proud to have NOVUS as its Official Outfitter!

A Winning Collaboration

Our partnership with the VLA has been a natural fit, not only because of our shared values but also because of the relationships we’ve built along the way.

Our relationship with NOVUS has been great—the family-oriented business that they have makes me feel like I’m part of their family.
— Chris Hosley, Director of League Development for the VLA

This personal connection, combined with our shared passion for excellence, has laid a strong foundation for our continued work together. As a brand, we’re proud to contribute to the growth and success of the VLA, both by supporting the athletes and helping the league expand.

A Growing League, A Growing Partnership

Since its inception, the VLA has seen tremendous growth. What started with five teams during the pandemic has now blossomed into a league with 11 elite men's teams playing in the Tier 1 division, over 60 men's teams in their ever-growing Tier 2 division, and over 16 teams in the VLA Women's division. The league’s rapid expansion aligns with our vision for NOVUS—growth driven by purpose, passion, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. 

The VLA was created out of the passion for the sport of volleyball and the belief that the community would welcome us. As we enter our 6th season it wouldn’t have been possible without NOVUS. They have been a partner that believes in our mission and has helped us build the VLA community that exists today.
— Will Foley, VLA Director of Business Development

As the VLA continues to reach new heights, NOVUS is proud to stand alongside them, ensuring that athletes across the country have the gear they need to rise to the occasion.

Elevating the Athlete Experience

At NOVUS, we know that the right gear can make all the difference. Whether it’s volleyball uniforms, athleisure, or everyday apparel, we’ve worked closely with the VLA to ensure that each piece not only looks great but also performs.

The quality of the product has been huge for us. They’ve done a great job with the volleyball uniforms, the lounge gear, and the day-to-day gear that you can wear on and off the court.
— Chris Hosley, Director of League Development for the VLA

This collaboration underscores our dedication to outfitting athletes with gear that not only supports their performance but also reflects their passion for the game.

Looking Ahead

As we embark on this next chapter, we’re more excited than ever to continue supporting the VLA and its athletes. Together, we’re setting the stage for greatness, both on and off the court. Through our shared commitment to quality, performance, and community, we’re helping athletes everywhere claim their crown.

Stay tuned for exciting updates and behind-the-scenes looks at our continued collaboration with the VLA, and be sure to follow the action throughout the season as the league’s top athletes compete for victory!
