The Korea Volleyball Association announced on the 4th that it will hold the 2025 Volleyball Promotion League with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the National Sports Promotion Agency, and the Korea Sports Association. The project aims to expand the base of volleyball for youth players and convert them to professional sports.
The association explained that the school sports department, which maintains professional sports due to the decrease in the school-age population, has reached its limit and aims to introduce a new playership and induce the transition to professional sports through the introduction of the daily sports league.
The association has been expanding the youth sector through various sports competitions since 2022, and it has been striving to establish a virtuous cycle structure that increases the number of cases of transitioning from sports to professional sports, and furthermore, the increase in the number of youth volleyball players will soon induce a quantitative increase in the quality of the school sports department, and ultimately, the performance of the youth and adult national teams can be expected to improve.
The volleyball platform league will first divide the metropolitan area, central area, and southern area into 12 regions, and a total of 72 leagues will be operated in 6-24 leagues by region for elementary, middle and high school men's and women's sports clubs. The association also has a mid- to long-term plan to subdivide and expand the region to the national league when the promotion league is settled and activated in the future.
Participants are youth volleyball clubs with one or more leaders in 12 sub-regions, including school sports clubs, after-school classes, local and private clubs, and youth volleyball clubs under professional clubs.
The three-month promotion league will be a full league for one month per league, and the semifinals and finals will be held after the second round for two months.
In line with the concept of the promotion league, the six-person game rules will be applied in the future national league so that the professional sports school sports department and amateur sports clubs can compete, and to this end, the association completed the sequential change to the six-person system from 2022 to 2024 and laid the foundation for the introduction of the promotion league.
The association expects to contribute to the development of sound school sports by solving the problem of lack of players in the school sports department and strengthening competitiveness while providing opportunities for ordinary students studying to exercise. In addition, this will have various positive effects, such as strengthening the administrative power of the provincial and provincial associations in charge of league management, creating jobs, and increasing the instructor activities of retired players.
