GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Beginning Monday, the Grand Rapids Rise will prepare for their second season in the Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF).
Training camp gets underway Monday, and the Rise will hold five weekday team practices Dec. 2-6 at the MSA Fieldhouse (5435 28th Street St. Ct. SE) from noon to 4 p.m. each day.
The month-long training will lead into the team’s season opener on Jan. 10 at the Vegas Thrill, and its home opener on Jan. 12 versus the Omaha Supernovas. That will be a rematch of the inaugural PVF Championship last May, when Omaha won the title match.
Per a Rise news release, the team currently has signed a dozen players for their eventual 14-player active roster. There will also be two practice player spots reserved for players who were recently drafted in the 2024 PVF Draft held on Monday, Nov. 25.
Drafted players are eligible to report to training camp following the completion of their 2024 college season.
Training camp practice sessions are closed to the public but are open to media. Any media planning to attend practice should notify Rise public and community relations coordinator Alex Eisen (aeisen@grrise.com) in advance.
Fans can purchase full-season, half-season, or group ticket packages by calling (616) 575-6500 or by clicking here. Single-match tickets will be available to the public on Dec. 4 through grrise.com.
