About the Association
Officially named the Japan Air Volleyball Association, we were established in January 2019. Under the guidance of professional coaches, we actively promote the sport. We work to spread air volleyball throughout Japan and create opportunities for everyone to enjoy sport. We are welcoming participants of all ages, genders, and nationalities.
Message from the President
Since founding the Japan Air Volleyball Association in 2019, we have been committed to spreading this sport. The greatest appeal of air volleyball is that anyone can enjoy it together, regardless of age, gender, or experience. Seeing people in their 60s and teenagers playing together with smiles on the same court—that is what we want to share across Japan. While this is still a young sport, we will continue moving forward step by step together.
