Fulton Volleyball
Association (FVA)
FVA began in
late 1970's to promote organized volleyball in Oswego County.
The league became one of the prominent leagues in the Central
New York region and boasted teams from Syracuse University,
Morrisville College, Oswego State, Liverpool High School boys,
Oswego High School boys, Fulton High School girls, a league
sponsored Fulton High School boys team and other
local competitive teams.At one time the league carried as
many as 24 teams and utilized 3 separate gyms, Fairgrieve School, Junior High
School and the Fulton War Memorial. The league was thriving until the late
1990's when it began to reduce in size as many of the local players and teams
dropped out. Competition also declined and by the Spring of 2007 the league only carried 11 teams.
In the spring of 2007 the league
decided to take a new direction to begin to rebuild the league into the
competitive organization that was known as FVA. The major challenge was
accommodating new teams and maintaining reasonable scheduling and having gym
access. FVA has been able to accommodate new teams and should be able to
handle up to 24 teams in 4 leagues.
The league will consist of 4 leagues
(up to 6 teams each), women's, men's and two levels of co-ed.
By the fall 2007, the league
regained almost all of the 24 teams and consisted of 20 teams;
(6) women's teams and (12) co-ed teams with a couple men's
teams. The league has again gained back a number of new
teams and players. The only league remaining that needs
rebuilding is a competitive men's league.
