Indy is home to incredible sports teams and come early next year, our city will add another one to its roster.

The Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF) — which launched its inaugural season in February 2024 with teams across seven US cities — has added Indy Ignite to its league. The women’s volleyball team will debut in January 2025.

Here’s what we know so far:

  • The new Fishers Event Center will serve as the team’s official home court. The 7,500 capacity venue will open its doors next month — keep an eye on our Instagram for a preview.
  • The team hired George Padjen as its head coach — a collegiate volleyball coach with 25 years of experience.
  • Indy Ignite’s team roster is looking strong — we spy several Purdue Volleyball alumni.
  • Each PVF team will play 28 matches in 2025 — 14 at home + 14 on the road. Start scouting your tickets.
  • The team’s logo features a volleyball surrounded by flames — and merch is already available.
  • The slogans “Fan Firestorm” and “Ignite the Fire” are being used by the team’s new fanbase — and we’ve gotta say, we’re fired up.
