Testimonials from Parents
The ENTIRE OVA coaching staff is fantastic--knowledgeable, professional, patient, and encouraging. Thanks for giving our kids of all skill levels a chance and instilling confidence in them!! --VVF
The positive training environment and the bonds she has made with her teammates are just a couple of reasons why my daughter enjoys playing for OVA. As a beginner she has learned so much already and it’s wonderful seeing her confidence grow! Thank you OVA!!

OVA gives back
During these trying times, I have been handing out food at Leataata Elementary School to much needed families. Additionally, I have been donating soccer jerseys to children. It feels good to give back! Thanks to Kombat Soccer for their contribution of the jerseys. It's made many kids smile! -RR

Giving to children of Colombia
OVA gives back! The purpose for OVA Foundation is to provide children from Colombia with much needed volleyball equipment to our little sister club in Calima, and clothing to the boys and girls of Bolivar. My recent trip to Colombia in December 2019, was to give boys and girls from my mother's home town of Bolivar the gift of clothing. My next trip to Colombia is to provide volleyballs, t-shirts, shoes and uniforms to our newly adopted volleyball academy in Calima, and more clothing and shoes to the youth of Bolivar. Thank you Kombat Ink for your kind donations.
