HEART OF AMERICA REGION VOLLEYBALL

What HEART OF AMERICA REGION VOLLEYBALL does

Heart of America Region Volleyball (HOA) is one of 40 regional affiliate organizations under USA Volleyball, the national governing body for the sport in the United States. The organization serves junior (ages 10-18) and adult volleyball players across Kansas and the western half of Missouri, providing sanctioned tournaments, club team administration, officiating certification, and a structured competition pathway from local events through Junior National and USAV Open Nationals qualification. HOA is governed by a Board of Directors with elected officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary) and committee roles including Commissioner, Officials Chair, and Junior Players Development Chair, with a small staff of 1-10 employees.

The organization's core infrastructure is the Davies Volleyball Complex, a 25,000 sq ft, 5-court facility in Kansas City, Kansas owned by HOA since December 2005 (Taraflex flooring, LiveBarn streaming). Operations are enabled by SportsEngine for member registration and HOAonline for tournament scheduling, club administration, and rankings. The Glen G. Davies Foundation, a sub-brand of HOA, provides scholarship assistance to junior players and has awarded 329 scholarships totaling $224,600 since 2013. HOA operates events across 11+ partner venues across the region, including New Century Fieldhouse, Sports Pavilion Lawrence, and Mavs Volleyball Facility.

Revenue is generated through five streams: USAV/HOA membership fees (recurring), tournament entry fees (transaction-based), equipment shop sales (volleyballs, carts, bags), hourly court rentals at Davies Complex ($30/hr for members, $35/hr for non-members), and referee match and daily administrative fees ($25-$42/match, $200-$320/day). Distribution combines direct membership registration via SportsEngine, an e-commerce equipment shop, in-person tournament events, and a multi-platform social media presence. HOA's strategic differentiators are its regulatory franchise from USAV, owned facility infrastructure, and a deeply embedded community ecosystem of clubs, coaches, officials, and tournament directors.
