About Infinity

High quality instruction aimed at growing the sport of volleyball in central Mississippi, in a safe, fun learning environment where athletes reach their full potential.

Who we are

Infinity Volleyball Academy was established in 2016 and has since become the largest, most successful club volleyball program in Mississippi. IVBA brings a wealth of the highest-level volleyball experiences to athletes in Jackson, MS and the surrounding communities. Our coaches are knowledgeable and continue to learn and grow so they can support every one of our athletes.

Athletes benefit from the many years of coaching experience among the staff, which includes coaching at the college, club and high school levels. IVBA trains in a brand new, volleyball-only facility with eight courts in Ridgeland, used only for IVBA club volleyball, rec volleyball, tournaments and camps.

We welcome you to come in and see why IVBA continues to be the only club in Mississippi with athletes continuing their careers at every college level, with continued success.

Our mission

Infinity Volleyball Academy is a USAV and JVA member club that aims to give volleyball athletes a great experience as they learn and grow in the sport.

IVBA believes in teaching the game through high-level instruction that creates a learning environment in a game-like manner. We want our players to understand that there is a process to improving their skills, and we want them to embrace that process. A growth mindset and a willingness to push outside their comfort zone help athletes reach their full potential.

Infinity Volleyball Academy believes that God has given us our gifts, and He wants us to use these gifts to help others. IVBA is active in the community and gives back through service projects and community service activities.

IVBA is committed to helping players interested in volleyball have opportunities to participate. Donations can be made to a scholarship fund used to assist players in need.

Infinity SOAR

Over the last eight years IVBA has grown tremendously. Our newest satellite program, Infinity SOAR, brings the same coaching system to athletes in Hattiesburg, MS. More information on SOAR teams and tryouts is announced on our social channels.

Our legacy

The original Infinity Volleyball Academy logo: a yellow volleyball wrapped in a blue infinity ribbon

The original IVBA mark carried the club from its first courts in Flowood in 2016 through the move to Ridgeland. The yellow ball and blue ribbon still show up on alumni gear and in the gym, and the Proverbs 16:3 reference carried over to the 2026 logo. Same club, same commitment.
