Players see forming union as key to SV.League success

Stars of Japanese volleyball’s SV.League say the league must address its crowded match schedule and other issues affecting players following the conclusion of the rebranded competition’s inaugural season.
One of the league’s biggest stars has been leading calls for the formation of a players’ union to address such concerns and support the league’s goal of becoming the global benchmark in professional volleyball.
Osaka Bluteon’s Yuji Nishida, a star of the Japanese men’s national team, proposed the establishment of the union in an April 27 post on X, formerly Twitter.

“To all players, let’s form a players’ union to make the league better and raise the level of our play,” he said.
“The union is absolutely necessary if the SV.League wants to be the top of world volleyball. We have so many questions. For instance, each team plays 44 matches, but we play some opponents four times and others six times. What are the reasons for this?”
For the inaugural 2024-2025 regular season, the league increased the number of men’s matches per team to 44, up from 36 in the predecessor V.League, while doubling the number of women’s matches per team to 44 from 22.
The league launched last year with 10 men’s teams and 14 women’s teams, aiming to become the world’s most competitive and popular volleyball league by 2030. SV.League Chairman Masaaki Okawa said he envisions a league that players from around the globe aspire to join.
Nishida also raised the issue of promoting teams from the second division. The Hokkaido Yellow Stars topped the eight-team second-division standings with a dominant 26-2 record but will not be promoted for next season.

“Another question is why can’t a team that has received a SV.League license move up (from the second division). Is it impossible to have an odd number of teams? One year isn’t ‘just one year’ for players,” Nishida said.
Meanwhile, regular-season attendance totaled 1,034,667, up 204 percent from the 2023-2024 V.League season, the SV.League said on April 16, two days before the playoffs began.
Attendance for men’s matches surged 75 percent to 664,709, while women’s attendance jumped 195 percent to 369,958, buoyed by the expanded schedule. However, average attendance per women’s match fell by 31 percent.
Nishida’s Bluteon teammate Thomas Jaeschke, who won two bronze medals while playing for the United States in the past three Olympics, has also pointed to multiple issues that the SV.League needs to address.
“It’s just too many matches, physically, for players,” Jaeschke told Kyodo News after his team played two matches against the Tokyo Great Bears at the beginning of March. “It’s not reasonable for players. It’s really a big mistake. It needs to be adjusted.”
“Back-to-back matches. Everybody plays twice a weekend. The market is just kind of saturated. You can’t watch every night. They’re competing against each other. They’re playing the same time.”

He added that when he played for European clubs, including in Italy and Turkey, teams with two weekly matches typically played once midweek and once on the weekend, whereas the current schedule in Japan is less conducive to match quality and player health.
“I think guys (foreign players) will come here and see that. The money here is good. A lot of things are good, but I do think some changes need to be made,” Jaeschke said.
The 31-year-old outside hitter has decided not to return to Japan for his third season.
The SV.League believes the current schedule is ideal for fans to attend matches. It also reduces costs, enabling match organizers to set up and clear a venue once per weekend, as many clubs do not have their own arenas, the league said in a recent reply to questions from Kyodo News.

The league added that it is harder to assign umpires and supporting staff on weekdays, and the current weekend schedule also makes it easier for fans to travel for away matches.
Asked about players who say their performance is better with one midweek and one weekend match per week, the league said, “There are also players who prefer playing on weekends while resting on weekdays. Those players say it’s easier to get themselves in shape that way.”
“If we have more matches on weekdays, we might get more (media) exposure. That’s a positive thing. We know there are various opinions. We’ll continue to examine the best options for the league.”

Columbiana – Summer break is in full swing and over 40 students ranging from kindergarteners through eighth graders dedicated some of their time to developing their volleyball skills.
The SCHS Kiddie Camp took place at Shelby County High School from June 9-11. Head varsity coach Stacy McGehee is pleased with the turnout.
“We got 42 campers this year,” McGehee said. “We were really expecting about 20 so this camp is going beyond our expectations of what it was going to be.”
The camp is an attempt to increase volleyball’s presence in the community, something McGehee believes is vital in building up a successful program.
“We’re trying to increase volleyball in the Columbiana area because we haven’t had one of these before,” McGehee said. “We’re trying to build on the success of the city league that we have a couple of teams in.”
There was a significant amount of interest in a volleyball camp around the community, leading to McGehee’s decision to hold one and do his best to shape the future of the game in Columbiana.
“We had some people in the community reach out and just ask if we would have a camp and just help work on the fundamentals and teach them about the game so maybe we could grow our city league program or just have a little bit more interest in volleyball in our community as well,” McGehee said.
While the high school players are not focused on getting better themselves during the camp, this event has still played a large role in building team chemistry and allowing them to learn how to work together.
“I really think this helps to maybe teach a little bit of leadership for the girls since they’re instructing the camp,” McGehee said. “It builds a little camaraderie with our players as they work together and have fun with each other while we’re still doing the camp as well.”
Teaching the skills to the campers allows the older players to gain some additional practice through mental reps.
“It just reinforces in their mind some of the things that we’re trying to teach them as well,” McGehee said. “What we’ve taught them or are trying to get them to do, they’re telling the campers how we’d like them to play volleyball.”
McGehee said interacting with younger athletes and building up their volleyball skills will pay off in the future as they will be prepared to join the high school roster in the years to come.
“It’s just going to create more interest and hopefully it will peak the curiosity of some of the better athletes growing up,” McGehee said. “This might be a sport that they like and want to play as they get into middle school and on up into high school.”
The main thing McGehee hopes the camp is able to accomplish, however, is strengthening the bond between the program and the community.
“I’m hoping that doing this will bring more people to the games and make them aware that we do have a volleyball program in our community that wants to share with the community,” McGehee said. “Just building up a relationship with them to where they would want to be more supportive of our program.”
