COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 26, 2021) – Three U.S. volleyball players will be inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame (IVHF) with the class of 2021.

Three-time indoor Olympian and gold-medal winner Clay Stanley; four-time indoor Olympian and two-time silver-medal winner Logan Tom; and two-time beach Olympian and gold-medal winner Todd Rogers will be inducted along with five others on Oct. 15-16 in Holyoke, Mass.

“It is great to be opening up in the U.S. and it is even better that we will get to meet in-person later this year in Holyoke to honor this amazing Class of 2021” said IVHF President Steve Bishop, also the President of the Florida Region of USA Volleyball. “After a pause in 2020 due to the pandemic, we have expanded our 2021 class to recognize even more legends in our sport and continue this annual tradition.”

The IVHF has inducted 146 individuals from 24 countries into its historic Hall of Fame – those totals will rise to 155 inductees from 25 countries after the 2021 event.
