KIVA, MAVA win national titles

Two Louisville-area volleyball clubs each have won at least one title at the AAU Junior Girls' National Championships in Orlando, Fla., and are in a position to accomplish more today.

The Kentucky Indiana Volleyball Academy (KIVA), which Assumption High School coach Ron Kordes has built into one of the best clubs in the country, won the 13-and-under national championship with its 13 Red team on Friday.

The MidAmerica Volleyball Association (MAVA) also won a national championship on Friday, taking the 14-and-under division with its 14 Elite team.

The two clubs then collided for the 15-and-under national championship today, and MAVA 15 Elite beat KIVA 15 Red to win the title.

Additionally, MAVA 12 Wilson won the consolation title at 12-and-under; KIVA 14 Red placed third at 14-and-under; and MAVA 13 Elite placed third at 13-and-under.

KIVA 17 Red will play for the 17-and-under national championship tonight.
