JVA is a proud supporter of the Side-Out Foundation for over a decade, and through the JVA World Challenge, held APRIL 11-13, 2026, JVA raised $17,650 that will be donated directly to help save lives. The midseason championship brings girls’ volleyball teams from across the country together not only to compete on the court, but also to raise funds for the Side-Out Foundation to support research for patients with metastatic breast cancer, the most advanced form of the disease and the least funded area of research.
Every $2,000 raised through Dig Pink allows Side-Out to provide metastatic breast cancer patients and their oncologists with an unprecedented analysis that ranks treatment options and clinical trials for each individual patient. This analysis can significantly improve both the length and quality of patients’ lives.
“JVA is incredibly grateful for the support of the athletes, families, Coaches, officials, event staff, and donors who rallied behind this year’s campaign,” said JVA Executive Director Lisa Wielebnicki. “One of the greatest strengths of our sport is the power of the volleyball community to unite around a common purpose. By using our platform to support a cause larger than the game itself, we can help raise awareness, fund critical research, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by metastatic breast cancer. We are proud to continue our partnership with the Side-Out Foundation and the impact we can create together.”
Through JVA’s partnership with the Side-Out Foundation, the volleyball community has helped raise awareness and funding to support the organization’s mission of advocating for metastatic breast cancer patients and advancing life-saving research.
“The Side-Out Foundation is deeply moved by the heart and generosity of the entire JVA community, from the athletes and families on the court to everyone who donated online, because of you, metastatic breast cancer patients have greater hope, better treatment options, and more time with the people they love. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You!,” said Ellen Dempsey, Founder and Executive Director of the Side-Out Foundation.

Beach Solutions: Utilizing Alternates in BVCA Club Duals
One of the best parts of beach volleyball is that playing time is rarely an issue. In standard pairs events, athletes sign up with a partner, play through pool play, and are guaranteed matches. BVCA Club Duals create a different challenge.
The college-style format is one of the best aspects of junior beach volleyball. It gives athletes a true team experience, builds club pride, and helps prepare players for the way beach volleyball is played at the collegiate level. With that format, however, comes a real roster-management challenge: What happens when a player gets sick, injured, or unexpectedly cannot compete?
In a six-player squad, losing one athlete can force a pair to forfeit. That can leave a healthy player without a partner and dramatically change the competitive outlook for the entire team. For a team-based event, it is a difficult situation for athletes, Coaches, and families.
The obvious solution is to bring an alternate. The practical challenge is that most families are not eager to pay for travel, lodging, meals, and time away from home for their athlete to be listed only as an alternate. That is understandable. Families want their athlete to compete, not spend a weekend waiting for an opportunity that may never come.
The question then becomes: How can clubs build roster protection without asking families to make a full travel commitment for an uncertain role?
