The First Point Volleyball Foundation was founded in 2016 by John Speraw, USA Men’s National Team and UCLA Men’s Volleyball Head Coach, and Wade Garard, a nonprofit executive. This organization’s mission is to raise awareness for boys’ and men’s volleyball in the U.S. by supporting men’s collegiate volleyball and by increasing opportunities for boys to learn the game. These efforts also include increasing opportunities in low-income communities.

USA Volleyball is a non-profit organization recognized by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball and the United States Olympic Committee as the national governing body of volleyball in the United States. It was founded by the YMCA of the USA in 1928 and has a mission to lead and grow all areas of the sport of volleyball.
