2017 Inductee Kim Oden

The Southern California Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame (SCIVBHOF) was founded in the summer of 2016 to publicize, promote, market and recognize the great accomplishments in the sport of indoor volleyball by players, coaches and administrators/officials who have ties to the area from San Diego to Santa Barbara.

The inductees are recognized for a wide spectrum of experiences ranging from their initial involvement in club and high school tournaments to their outstanding achievements in collegiate season play, USA national team competition, and the Olympic Games.

Originally built at the American Sports Centers (ASC) in Anaheim, California, and moved in January, 2021 to the Forza1 Performance Center in Temecula-Winchester, the 501c3 SCIVBHOF charity (81-3695316) will provide funds to under-supported teams, competitions, and causes to further develop the indoor volleyball game throughout Southern California. This may be accomplished through education, training and providing sports opportunities such as HOF internships through the SCIVBHOF.

SCIVBHOF donors and sponsors will be listed in a Tribute Program provided to all in attendance at the
annual induction. In addition, these contributors are recognized on a special HOF wall. orgiinally built
at American Sports Centers (ASC), the training home for the USA Men’s and Women’s National Teams
through the Tokyo Olympics. Now the donor wall is housed at the Forza1 Performance Center.
