About the Hall of Fame

Honoring Our Past & Present

The USA Volleyball Hall of Fame honors players, coaches officials and other leaders in the sport.

Every year, volleyball legends and stars of the sport are inducted into the Hall of Fame as presented at the Dorothy C. Boyce Banquet

This year, USA Volleyball will celebrate some of the sports greatest athletes, coaches, officials and leaders on May 22 at the Hilton Polaris in Columbus, Ohio.

Among the honorees for 2024 will be Kathy DeBoer and the late Carl McGown, who will both receive the Harold T. Friermood “Frier” Lifetime Achievement Award. Purchase tickets and explore sponsorship opportunities.

The Frier Award is considered USA Volleyball’s highest honor. DeBoer and McGown will be the 55rd and 56th honorees.
