AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE
Volleyball.net is committed to full transparency about how we generate revenue and any relationships that may influence the content and recommendations on our platform.
FTC DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), Volleyball.net discloses that some links and recommendations on this platform may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click on a link and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.
HOW VOLLEYBALL.NET GENERATES REVENUE
Volleyball.net operates as a free platform for athletes, coaches, and clubs. To sustain and improve the platform, we may generate revenue through:
- Affiliate partnerships with volleyball equipment brands (balls, shoes, training gear) — we earn a commission on qualifying purchases
- Club directory featured listings — clubs may pay for enhanced visibility in search results
- PACE for Teams — premium team analytics features for clubs and programs
- Sponsored content — clearly labeled partnerships with volleyball brands and organizations
- Newsletter sponsorships — clearly labeled sponsor mentions in our email communications
OUR EDITORIAL STANDARDS
Affiliate relationships and paid partnerships do not influence our editorial content, PACE framework, assessment results, or training recommendations. Specifically:
- PACE assessment results are generated solely by the athlete's responses — no brand or sponsor can influence them
- Training drills and coaching content are selected based on quality and relevance, not commercial relationships
- Club directory rankings are based on objective criteria (location, size, verified status) — not payment
- Featured listings in the club directory are clearly labeled as 'Featured'
- Sponsored content and affiliate links are clearly labeled throughout the platform
