Volleyball is a popular sport in the United States with both male and female participants of all ages.

Almost all high schools and colleges in the United States have female volleyball teams, and most regions of the country have developmental programs for girls of all ages as well.

Numerous attempts have been made to start professional indoor women's volleyball leagues.

In 2004 and again in 2005, NBC aired the Nissan Championship series, with Fox Sports carrying the majority of the season.

[17] Men's volleyball experienced explosive growth at the Division III level in the 2010s and early 2020s.

The next season saw 56 teams play under D-III regulations, leading the NCAA to establish a separate Division III championship in 2012.

[18] In 2012, NCAA sanctioned college beach volleyball teams for women for the first time; 14 schools sponsored the sport, with slightly more than 200 participants.

Today, however, most state associations are now using the same guidelines and are also using rally scoring, the best-of-five competition format, and allowing the libero to serve.

In club volleyball, junior players develop their skills and knowledge of the game, usually with the purpose of playing for high school teams.

Volleyball is one of the most popular girls' sports, and strong high school and club programs are found throughout the country.

[22][23][24] One of the biggest events in high school-age sports is the annual Volleyball Festival in Phoenix, Arizona, (formerly in Reno, Nevada until 2009 and Sacramento, California until 2004), which draws as many as 10,000 players and 3,000 coaches for its five-day tournament.

[26] However, on the national stage, boys' volleyball remains far less popular than the girls' game at the high school level, as borne out by the following statistics from the aforementioned 2022 NFHS survey:[24] In the four years from 2004 to 2008, high school participation in boys' volleyball rose by more than 15%, from about 42,000[29] to nearly 50,000.

[24] This does not include boys playing at club level in states where high school competition is not officially sanctioned.
