The volleyball world is heating up, and new pro leagues continue to emerge while others continue to evolve! The Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF) is getting into action and, in December, they made a groundbreaking decision—the first-ever All-Star Match will take place on February 22, 2025, at Fishers Event Center. This is going to be a real treat for fans as the league’s athletes show their skills in a pure form of volleyball.
And here is the best part–this historic match is going prime time on CBS, which is a major victory for the sport. “The All-Star Match will be a defining moment for our league and the sport of volleyball,” said PVF CEO Jen Spicher and all eyes will definitely be on this event. But just when you thought it couldn’t get any larger, PVF turned the volume up and added an Olympic gold-medalist gymnast to the list of hosts—because why not make history with a little extra flair?

Shawn Johnson East, the queen of balance beams and all-around greatness, is an American gymnastics legend with a stacked resume! From winning the Olympic gold in balance beam in 2008 to claiming the Olympic silver in team, all-around and floor exercise, she’s got some serious bling. Shawn Johnson is a five times Pan Am Games gold medalist and three times U.S. all-around champion before she retired from gymnastics in 2012. But coming back to the volleyball scene, there are other proofs too to show that the sport is growing!
The sport keeps on growing!
