The Junior Volleyball Association (JVA) is pleased to announce VKTRY Performance Insoles as the Title Sponsor of all JVA Player Awards in 2025. This partnership will be instrumental for junior volleyball players to take their game to the next level. Made from full-length, 100% aerospace-grade carbon fiber, VKTRY Insoles (“VKs”) have been scientifically proven to help athletes jump higher and land softer.
The JVA Girls’, Boys’ and Beach Watch Lists, JVA Girls’ and Boys’ All-National Teams, JVA Athleaders, and JVA Best in Beach honorees will receive exclusive access to VKTRY Performance Insoles, designed to enhance athletic performance and reduce the risk of injuries with innovative, science-backed technology.
“JVA Club Directors and Coaches are committed to developing their players’ performance on the court, while preventing overuse injuries during the course of the season. Our partnership with VKTRY Gear elevates that commitment even more, by making VKs more accessible to JVA clubs and their athletes,” said JVA Director of Marketing, Education and Partner Development, Briana Schunzel.
Research shows the average increase in vertical to be +1.6 inches. In addition, VKs also help with lateral explosiveness (+9.3% increase in rate of force development). And a season-long study with 263 Division 1 athletes showed a reduction in foot injuries (-41%) and lower leg injuries (-22%).
“Exploding vertically is important in Volleyball and VKs give me that extra edge on the court. I love that VKs help to protect against injuries from the countless jumps I take.”
– Jordan Larson, Captain of the US Women’s National Volleyball Team, and 2021 Olympic Gold Medal Winner
VKTRY Gear partners with JVA clubs to provide a seamless process for volleyball athletes to provide a pair of performance enhancing insoles for training and competition, and will provide the same process directly to the athletes who receive a prestigious JVA award.
“We’re thrilled to support JVA and the exceptional athletes in their community,” said Steve Wasik, CEO of VKTRY Gear. “At VKTRY, our mission is to help athletes perform their best while staying healthy, and this partnership allows us to reach more volleyball players who are passionate about their sport. We’re proud to help them unlock their full potential with VKTRY Insoles.”
JVA members will receive more information on VKTRY Gear’s special offer through exclusive communications highlighting how clubs and athletes can take advantage of this unique opportunity to experience the benefits of VKTRY Performance Insoles.
