Celebration of the 1964 and 1968 Women's Olympic Teams
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognized volleyball as a non-Olympic sport in 1949, and in 1957, the IOC cast their votes and volleyball was made into an Olympic sport in 1964 in Tokyo, Japan, with the Japanese Women winning the first Gold Medal and later in 1976 Montreal won yet another God.

Tributes to Legends and pioneersThere are so many colleagues, players, and coaches who have played such a wonderful role in the development of our sport. It is only fitting for us to give thanks and pay tribute to the men and women who have supported us and given us the knowledge and experience to be successful.
The foundation and legacy should be necessary to everyone who wants to be the best they can be and those who want to see this sport become everything that it has been to us. 1967 Tribute to the women USA Team 1968 Tribute to the USA Women's Olympic Team 1975 Pasadena, TX First Olympic Training Center 1978 IVA First Co-Ed Pro League 1986 Women Sports Day Pat McChesney Stephanie Schlueder |
