I dont think there is a plan for Utah. Not sure just yet, covid is making this all a very dynamic situation so we will keep everyone updated but from what I have heard, I wouldnt be surprised by Cali, Texas, Jersey or Florida. Dont hold me to any of that, again everything changes daily as you know!

I saw on the VLA Instagram that Jeff Schmitz, setter from OC Stunners is now a VLA player. Can we get some insight on that move? Is this going to be a highest paid mercenaries type of free agency?

I saw this and tried to get you some answers at practice last night. So Jeff moved out from Cali so he wont be with Stunners anymore, but there were talks of him joining another team. I do know players wont be bouncing back and fourth between the NVA and VLA anymore (at least on our end). Part of growing our league is helping brand our players and not giving fans and spectators mixed messages (like this) so there *shouldnt* be any/many guys bouncing around in the coming future. If I hear more on Jeff's future I will keep you updated (to the extent I can appropriately do!).

For today's stream, I am flying solo once again and we will be stepping back into a NVA match with the Championship between Utah Stingers and SoCal Stunners. Utah boasts players from the national team like Russ Holmes and Jake Langlois and surrounds them with players from BYU programs spanning the better part of 15 years. On the other side of the court, international veterans like Matt Hilling, Jeff Schmitz, Cory Chavers, Joey Jarvis and Terrell Bramwell use their physicality and experience to take it to the Stingers head on. The season is less than 2 months away; dont miss out!
5 PM PST/ 8 PM EST
