Bigger is Better
Friday, January 22, 2009
The MIVA is proud to welcome a number of new collegiate club teams to our family this year. The former Midwest Collegiate Volleyball Assocation (MCVA) has been absorbed within the MIVA, expanding our conference coverage to 12 states, covering most of the Midwest. This expansion has resulted in the creation of the MIVA Division 1 Great Plains Men's Volleyball Conference who will begin league play this season, extending west to Saint Louis and the surrouding area. We have also preserved the former MCVA conference as a MIVA Division 2 conference, offering organized playing opportunities to a number of both established new collegiate club teams.
Former Illinois club president Lee Feder has volunteerd to act as the an MIVA director of competition for both conferences. We all very much appreciate his dedication to help us expand opportunities for club players throughtout the region. We also want to extend our appreciation and praise for the efforts made by former MCVA Commissioner Mike Chinander. For many years, Mike made exceptional contributions to help bring about organized playing opportunities for clubs in Chicagoland and served as a loyal supporter and founding member of the NCVF commissioners advisoy council. It is because of the efforts of people like Mike and Lee that club volleyball opportunites continue to expand and grow in the Midwest.
We welcome all the new teams to the MIVA and wish you all the very best. |
