Get to Know Us

Welcome to VBAmerica.™ Our volleyball designs are meant to let you sport your passion in the gym, on the beach, or out with friends. Our game has come of age and it’s time our look did as well. After a decade in volleyball, both on the beach and in the gym, we believe an original authentic feel is needed and hope our designs exceed your expectations.

VBA was founded by Kate Fitzgerald while she was a student athlete at ASU. She played beach volleyball at ASU during the changing times of NIL. Knowing she wasn’t about to receive a call from Adidas, Vuori, or a large donor, she wanted a way to represent create opportunities for other players and grow the fashion in the game. From hotel room pitches during PAC12 championships, to licensing with Universities, and now NIL deals Kate is  bringing volleyball off the court!

Our mission is to tell the stories of volleyball athletes and inspire the younger generation. To make a community connecting players, family, and fans through the sport of volleyball. To be a platform for female athletes to represent sports through “VBA Stories”. There is a gap in the market as current brands only target what players wear while they are playing, on the court. VBA is specifically designed for and marketed to volleyball players, parents, and fans. Everyday, simplistic style the current brands do not offer. Our slogan is to  “Sport Your Passion”! VBA offers volleyball lifestyle apparel, for you to feel comfortable, stylish, and confident showing off their love for the game through their everyday style. Basketball, Football, and Baseball has this, the girls should too! Made by a player for the players.

Sustainability is part of our mission as well. We use the best products we can and give back to the environment. Packaging with recyclable material, partnering with like-minded groups, and proud to be female-founded!

A Personal Note from our Founder...

Welcome to VBAmerica™! I’m Kate Fitzgerald, and I’m thrilled to share a piece of my journey with you. Volleyball has always been more than just a sport for me—it’s a way of life that embodies community, passion, and resilience.

When I founded VBAmerica™, I wanted to create more than just a clothing line; I aimed to foster a lifestyle that reflects the energy and spirit of volleyball while inspiring the next generation of athletes. A way to create opportunities for female athletes of every level. Each piece is designed with the athlete and the fan in mind, combining comfort, style, and functionality to empower you both on and off the court.

This brand is a culmination of my experiences—both the highs and the challenges. It’s about celebrating the love for the game and the incredible community that surrounds it. Whether you’re competing on the court or cheering from the sidelines, I hope that VBAmerica™ becomes a way for you to sport your passion every day.

Thank you for being here and for supporting our vision. Together, let’s embrace the volleyball lifestyle! 

-Kate Fitzgerald
