United States Volt Hockey Association

Volt hockey is growing… and so must our board!

As the USVHA continues to expand its impact and aspirations, we’re once again looking to add a few new members to our volunteer Board of Directors. This is an opportunity to help shape the future of volt hockey and widen access to the sport for athletes with disabilities across the country.

We’re especially interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:

⚡️ Fundraising, donor cultivation, sponsorships, or partnership development
⚡️ Marketing, communications, public relations, or brand strategy
⚡️ Adaptive sports, disability recreation, or national sports development
⚡️ Nonprofit governance, strategic planning, or organizational growth

Board members can serve from anywhere in the United States and should expect to contribute approximately 1.5–3 hours per month, including a monthly virtual meeting and occasional committee work.

Experience with volt hockey is not required. We especially welcome applicants who can bring an outside perspective and help us approach the sport’s growth on a national level. People with lived experience of disability and candidates from backgrounds currently underrepresented on our board are strongly encouraged to apply!

How has it already been nearly a month since our training clinic?! If you’re a nerd like us and love data and statistics, you’re in for a treat because our 2026 Training Clinic Impact Report is officially here! 🤓

Our second annual clinic was our biggest yet, welcoming 29 athletes from eight states for four days of training, competition, and community! Inside the report, you’ll find participant demographics and feedback, testimonials, financials, photos, and a closer look at the people who made it possible.

Most excitingly, connections made through the clinic are already helping move potential teams forward in New Mexico, Illinois, and New York. We’re incredibly proud of what this community accomplished in just four days and even more excited to see where that progress leads next!

Today is World Duchenne Awareness Day! ❤️

Many athletes throughout the volt hockey community live with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. For them, access to adaptive sports means more than having the opportunity to participate. It means being able to compete, grow as an athlete, build lasting friendships, and be part of a team.

We’re proud to amplify the perspective of USVHA board member and Boston Whiplash athlete Caeden Parisi, whose story is featured in ITF Therapeutics’ Real + Rare series. Caeden’s experience is a powerful reminder that access changes what is possible, and that people with Duchenne can and should have opportunities to be athletes.

Thank you to ITF Therapeutics for centering the voices and experiences of the Duchenne community today and throughout Duchenne Awareness Month!

Missed us live on Out Spokin’ this past Tuesday? You can now catch the USVHA’s first-ever radio appearance anytime! 🎙️⚡

Our president, Marley, joined Janneke van der Molen to talk about where volt hockey came from, how the sport works, what it takes to play competitively, and the challenges of building the sport here in the U.S.

They also got into the bigger picture: why power wheelchair team sports are still absent from the Paralympic Games, what it could take for volt hockey to get there, and some of the trade-offs that could come with that process.

Give it a listen here:
