OMAHA, Neb. — A third U.S. women's professional volleyball league is nearing its launch, this one with a first-of-its-kind structure that brings together some of the world's top players to compete against each other and help develop the next generation of stars. League One Volleyball, branded as LOVB, follows the Pro Volleyball Federation, which finished its inaugural season in May. Athletes Unlimited, a league that runs five weeks at one site, begins its fourth season Sept. 30. The leagues are capitalizing on the wave of popularity the sport is riding in the United States.
