What is Athletes Unlimited?
Shorter season. Higher stakes. More opportunity. Five weeks of nonstop action, where the teams change weekly, and every play is an opportunity to win. In partnership with USA Volleyball, Athletes Unlimited is proud to launch the only professional women's indoor volleyball league in the U.S. Off the field, the athletes recruit fellow pros, create league rules, and retain equity in the league. On the field, the top four players become new captains each week and draft their teams from scratch for each week's games.
