The All State Game is proud to announce a new partnership with the Puget Sound Region Volleyball Association (PSRVA) focused on creating greater access, stronger local connections, and a high-quality developmental experience for middle school volleyball athletes across Washington. The collaboration centers on supporting athletes in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, while also engaging the region’s coaches, clubs, and volleyball leaders in a meaningful way.
Through the partnership, PSRVA and the All State Game will work together to increase awareness of the event, strengthen coach participation, support athlete nominations, and help identify the right facilities and staffing resources to deliver an outstanding experience for families and players throughout the region. The partnership was shaped around a shared belief that Washington volleyball is strongest when athletes are given more ways to grow, compete, and see themselves as leaders in the sport.
The All State Game is a nomination-based, three-day experience designed to recognize and develop promising young athletes through training, competition, leadership development, and connection with respected coaches. By partnering with PSRVA, the event gains a trusted local ally with deep relationships in the volleyball community and a clear understanding of how to authentically connect with coaches and families across the Puget Sound region.
“We are incredibly appreciative of the openness, leadership, and belief that PSRVA team have already shown,” said Katie McCrath of the All State Game. “This partnership means a great deal to us. On a personal level, I’m especially thrilled to partner with a region where I previously played and achieved success. More importantly, this gives us a chance to work alongside people who truly care about growing the game and creating meaningful opportunities for young athletes in Washington.”
Simon Clements, National Director for the All State Game, said the partnership will help ensure the event reflects the needs and values of the local volleyball community.
“Our goal is to create an experience where young athletes not only grow as players, but also begin to see themselves as leaders within the sport,” said Clements. “PSRVA brings credibility, relationships, and community knowledge that will help us build this the right way with the right coaches, the right environment, and a strong connection to the volleyball families we hope to serve.”
The partnership reflects the PSRVA’s broader commitment to supporting the sport at every level.
“We are excited to partner with the All State Game to help create more opportunities for young volleyball athletes across Washington,” said PSRVA Director. “What stood out to us is the shared focus on experience, development, and community. We believe this partnership can help connect middle school athletes with strong coaching, meaningful encouragement, and a pathway to grow within the game.”
As part of the collaboration, PSRVA will help bring visibility and authenticity to the launch of the Washington volleyball event by supporting coach-facing communication and helping identify respected leaders in the region for involvement. The All State Game team will in turn provide branded materials, outreach support, and resources for coaches interested in joining the Talent Scout roster: a role that allows trusted coaches to nominate deserving athletes for consideration.
The partnership also opens the door for broader operational collaboration, including introductions to facility options, connections with coaches and junior assistants, and support in building an event environment that reflects the strength and spirit of the Puget Sound volleyball community. Meeting participants emphasized that a strong experience for athletes will remain the top priority, with growth being paced to match facility quality and coaching strength.
Additional details regarding coach involvement, talent scout participation, and event information will be shared in follow-up communication from PSRVA and the All State Game team.
