Texas Volleyball Sees Significant Growth and New Collectible Sets

Texas volleyball, along with other prominent college volleyball programs, is experiencing a surge in popularity and participation. Since 2020, women’s volleyball in the U.S. has seen remarkable growth, particularly from the 12U level through college. This growth is attributed to the expansion of clubs and school programs, leading to larger and more competitive tournaments nationwide.

In high schools, volleyball now rivals basketball as a top sport, benefiting from increased media coverage and higher visibility on streaming platforms. The NCAA has reported record attendance and viewership for women’s volleyball, further fueled by enhanced facilities, sponsorship deals, and NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) opportunities for college athletes.

Reflecting this growth, Panini America has recently released its 2024 NIL Women’s Volleyball Set, which includes players from several top colleges, including the University of Texas. The Texas set features six players: Ayden Ames (Card #1), Ella Swindle (#2), Emma Halter (#3), Kenna Miller (#4), Marianna Singletary (#5), and Madisen Skinner (#7).

Collectors can purchase each player’s individual card directly from Panini, with each card priced at $5.99. This new collection highlights the increasing appeal of women’s volleyball and provides fans and collectors a unique way to engage with the sport.

In addition to the collectible sets, the University of Texas volleyball team continues to have a busy schedule, with recent and upcoming matches broadcast on the SEC Network + and available for streaming on various platforms.
