About
On August 28, 1985, the American Deaf Volleyball Association (ADVBA) was incorporated. The officers were Farley Warshaw, president, Bobbie Beth Scoggins, secretary, and Harvey Grossinger, treasurer. In 1997, ADVBA was renamed as USA Deaf Volleyball Association (USADVB).
Today, the organization is a sport ad hoc committee under USA Deaf Sports Federation. The chair is John Knetzger, and the US National Team Director is Patrick O'Brien.
MISSION

2. To provide for the selection and support of USA men and women volleyball teams in international competition for the deaf.
3. To provide for year-around development and training programs for deaf athletes in high school, college, and club classes of competition.
4. To solicit funds for financial support of the USA men and women volleyball teams in national and international competition, the year-around development and training programs, expenses, and any other functions or duties of the USADVB.
