The Cleveland Kong is a Professional Volleyball Team based in Cleveland, Ohio that has been established in order to provide (paid) opportunities for athletes to compete in the Volleyball League of America with tour stops countrywide.

 

Traditionally high level (indoor) competition and revenue generating events have taken place overseas (the sport of volleyball is very popular internationally), the VLA has been designed to provide a spectator sport in the US and to give the athletes a platform to stay close to family and training facilities while continuing to compete on a much higher skill level.
