We’re thrilled to announce that NM Elite is joining forces with ARVC–a meaningful step toward strengthening the future of volleyball in New Mexico. This exciting move combines NM Elite’s strong foundation with ARVC’s stellar reputation in the community, uniting two passionate programs under one shared mission: to help athletes grow, compete, and thrive.
Moving forward, the programs will operate together as ARVC, building on years of experience, trust, and commitment to excellence. By coming together, these two forces are setting the stage for even more opportunities for youth athletes in the region–on and off the court.
NM Elite has always taken an athlete-first approach, grounded in positivity, growth, and development. When asked what makes the club special, they shared:
“What's special about New Mexico Elite is our commitment to ensuring that every athlete has a positive experience that fuels their love of volleyball and competition. Players are taught the importance of fostering a growth mindset while developing teamwork and communication skills. Our top priority is always striving to improve and giving each athlete the feedback and tools needed to perform at their highest.”
This philosophy closely aligns with LOVB’s vision–which made joining the LOVB network a natural fit. The NM Elite team shared:
“We're incredibly excited about NM Elite joining LOVB because it represents a powerful step forward for our athletes, families, and program as a whole. LOVB's mission aligns closely with our values - prioritizing long-term athlete development, community connections, and a love for the game that extends beyond club volleyball. This opportunity allows for athletes here in New Mexico to open new doors for great opportunities for themselves and elevate their network focused on growth, excellence, and impact. We're proud to be part of a movement that's reshaping the future of volleyball in a meaningful way through LOVB.”
ARVC has been with LOVB since September of 2024. Their founding principles are some that we share at LOVB. ARVC is helping to create more than just excellent volleyball players. They’re creating the next generation of athletes that will excel in sportsmanship, discipline, and perseverance.
As we welcome this new chapter, we’re incredibly proud to unite these two impactful programs and continue investing in the bright future of volleyball in New Mexico.
