Our story
Built in New Orleans.
Built for New Orleans.
NOVA was founded with a simple belief: athletes deserve competitive, high-quality training in an environment where they are valued not only as volleyball players, but as people.
Founder Victoria Tidwell created the academy out of a love for the game and a desire to give athletes in her community more opportunities to train, compete, and develop.
Develop the athlete.
Value the person.
Grow the game.
What began as additional volleyball training has grown into a community offering club teams, clinics, camps, position-specific training, strength and conditioning, beach volleyball, and year-round opportunities to get in the gym.
