Our Story

About Volleyume

Building professional volleyball in the heartland. From the Quad Cities to the national stage.

The Beginning

Our Story

Volleyume was born from a simple belief: professional volleyball belongs in the Midwest. Based in the Quad Cities — specifically Bettendorf, Iowa — Volleyume competes in the Volleyball League of America (VLA), bringing world-class athletic talent and electrifying competition to a region hungry for high-level sports.

The name "Volleyume" is a fusion of volleyball and volume — a call to turn up the energy, the intensity, and the passion for the sport. Our tagline, "Pump Up the Volleyume," captures the spirit of what we bring to every court we step onto.

The Quad Cities

The Quad Cities metropolitan area straddles the Iowa-Illinois border along the Mississippi River, encompassing Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, and Rock Island and Moline in Illinois. With a combined population of over 380,000, the Quad Cities is a vibrant community with deep roots in sports, culture, and industry.

Volleyume is proud to call this region home. We believe the Quad Cities deserves a professional sports team that represents the hard work, resilience, and community spirit that defines this area. Every match we play, every tournament we enter, we carry the Quad Cities with us.
