IHSVCA (Indiana High School Volleyball Coaches Association) site states:
It’s easy. The gym is typically open in the spring. You already have all the equipment you will need including volleyballs, a net system(s), and training equipment (hitting boxes and the like). So the start-up costs are small.
Boys’ volleyball has been part of the Indiana landscape since 1994 with the creation of the Indiana Boys’ Volleyball Coaches Association (IBVCA). Nationally boys’ volleyball has grown 22% and 13% in Indiana even with the pandemic.
