CHAMPIONSHIP
The Premier Volleyball League has signed a three-year agreement with the volleyball apparel company, Rox Volleyball, Inc. which makes Rox the Official apparel provider for the PVL.
When this article was written in 2013, the PVL was only in their second season so the success of getting a deal with Rox was huge for the league.
They wanted their leagues to be taken seriously and grow professional Volleyball in the US and provide role models for players that are looking to play professionally after college.
