INDIANAPOLIS — In the team's inaugural season with the Pro Volleyball Federation, the Indy Ignite have secured the No. 1 overall draft pick.
Indianapolis' first professional indoor volleyball team will pick 1st, 16th, 20th, 28th and 33rd in the PVF Draft on Nov. 25.
“We are absolutely thrilled to announce that we have secured the No. 1 pick in the first round. This is a pivotal moment for our franchise, and we can't wait to welcome an exceptional talent into the Indy Ignite family,” said Mary Kay Huse, president and general manager of Indy Ignite.
The Ignite has already signed 11 players to the team, including the PVF's Playoff MVP in 2024, Sydney Hilley.
“This year's NCAA draft class is exceptionally deep, and we believe that the quality of players available in the other rounds will also significantly contribute to our team's future," said George Padjen, head coach of Indy Ignite.
We are just under three months away from the Ignite's first-ever game as a part of the league during the weekend of Jan. 9, 2025. The full schedule for the PVF's second season is still pending.
