Coach of Coaches & Recruiting Manager – Roots Volleyball
About LOVB: (League One Volleyball)
League One Volleyball (LOVB, pronounced “love”) is reimagining the sport of volleyball. Launched in 2020, our company is a mission-led sports performance, development and professional league that seeks to empower new generations of women athletes.
It is a groundbreaking time for volleyball in the US with our historic triple Olympic Gold medals in Women's Indoor, Beach and Sitting Volleyball. Volleyball is already the #1 most played girls' youth team sport. There are 38M current and former players today. Of major sports, it's the only one that is women-first (~90% of players are women).

LOVB is capturing this opportunity. Today, we have created the largest youth club business in the country and are creating the next major American sports league. This community-up approach will drive participation and fandom, while enabling greater empowerment for girls and young women living this amazing sport. In this role, you will join a mission-driven, roll-up-your-sleeves team of innovators and builders who have come together to change the paradigm of professional volleyball and women’s sport.
