DULUTH, Ga. | The Atlanta Vibe, entering its second season in the Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF), is becoming a standout team in the growing world of professional volleyball. As one of eight teams across the United States, the Vibe brings high-level action and entertainment. The Vibe play their home games at Gas South Arena in Duluth.
Launched in 2024, PVF is North America’s premier professional volleyball league, featuring top talent from both the U.S. and around the world. It offers elite athletes the opportunity to pursue a professional career domestically while competing at the highest level. The league operates in major league arenas, with each of its eight teams playing 28 matches in the 2025 season. Additionally, PVF holds a college draft, providing young talent from universities the chance to enter the professional ranks.
Owned by Colleen Craig, the Atlanta Vibe is packed with top-tier talent, including a mix of seasoned pros and exciting young players. The team consists of both returners, including 2024 League MVP Leah Edmond and 2024 Libero of the Year Morgan Hentz, and also has a handful of new faces making waves on the court, including No. 1 draft pick Merritt Beason and league kill percentage leader Khori Louis. These four players have been recently selected as inaugural All-Stars competing in the first ever PVF All-Star Match on February 22, 2025.
Leah Edmond has been instrumental to the team’s success. Known for her offensive power, she’s one of the best in the league, racking up impressive stats on the season. Her achievements earned her recognition as League MVP for the 2024 season. Whether attacking the ball or blocking opponents, Edmond’s impact on the game is undeniable. Meanwhile, Morgan Hentz is the team’s defensive powerhouse. As the libero, Hentz plays a crucial role in keeping the ball off the ground and setting up her teammates for success. Her leadership and consistency on defense make her one of the league’s top players, and her ability to dive after the ball is unmatched.
Another key player is Merritt Beason, the Vibe’s exciting rookie who was the top draft pick in 2024. Beason has wasted no time making her mark, with impressive offensive stats and the kind of energy that makes her a fan favorite. Her versatility on the court makes her a player to watch for the future. In her rookie season, middle blocker Khori Louis has made a remarkable impact, dominating both offensively and defensively. Her exceptional skills have quickly earned her a spot among the league’s top performers, showcasing her ability to consistently score and contribute to her team’s defense.
The Pro Volleyball Federation itself is still in its early stages but has already begun to make a big impact on the sports world. As the team enters its second season, the Atlanta Vibe is not just a group of athletes—they’re a source of pride for fans in the city and beyond. With their skill, determination, and passion for the game, they’re helping shape the future of volleyball in the United States.
