The Clovis East boys’ volleyball team received devastating news just months before their season began.

Their head coach for a decade, Marcos Orro, passed away unexpectedly in early October of last year.

Playing with heavy hearts but moved to do something special in his honor, the Timberwolves went on to win the Division I Central Section championship Thursday night in a five-set thriller over Buchanan.

“I didn’t want the pressure of winning a Valley championship for him to be on their shoulders,” said Marcos’ son Niko, who assumed head coaching duties this season.

“But that was always in our thoughts… In this last set, the conversation got brought up: it’s for him.”

Clovis East fell behind two sets-to-one in the title match but rallied to win the program’s 2nd Section championship in 3 years.

“I remember the hugs and holding him, and him telling me that he’s proud of me,” said Niko. “This is bringing back some memories.”

The Volleyball World commercial vehicle has today announced a partnership extension with Japanese sportswear brand Mizuno until 2026.

The multi-year renewal will cover both the Volleyball Nations League and the FIVB Volleyball World Championships.

As part of the agreement, Mizuno will continue to supply official uniforms for FIVB and Volleyball World event personnel, officials, and referees.

The new tie-up continues a partnership first agreed in 2022.

Oliver Clarke, Volleyball World head of sponsorship, said: “Mizuno has a genuine passion for our sport and we are thrilled to extend our partnership with them.

“Through our collaborative efforts, we have already seen meaningful engagement across digital platforms and live events, and we are confident the next phase of our partnership will unlock even greater opportunities.”

Takeshi Shichijyo, director and senior managing executive officer of Mizuno, added: “Through the partnership with Volleyball World in the last two years, we successfully established new connections with sports fans worldwide using online and offline communication.

“Continuing this partnership for an additional two years, we are confident that Mizuno’s brand presence in the volleyball world will be further enhanced.”

In terms of recent activity, Volleyball World partnered with cloud technology provider Dizplai last month, and agreed a decade-long deal in early March with international sports data technology provider Stats Perform.

Meanwhile, Volleyball World is seeking a new chief executive after Finn Taylor stepped down at the end of April.

Martyn Phillips, the vice chair of the Volleyball World board, is serving as interim CEO until a successor is found.

The Volleyball World arm was launched in early 2021, after private equity firm CVC purchased a 33% stake worth around $100 million.
