Nebraska’s professional volleyball team now has a name. The Omaha Supernovas will play at the CHI Health Center in Omaha beginning in 2024. The name pays tribute to the night sky found throughout the state and region, the magnitude of splendor of the professional athletes and the massive, explosive energy of women’s volleyball in the United States.
“Omaha Supernovas both embodies the players on our team and reflects this historic moment in sports,” says Nebraska Pro Volleyball President Diane Mendenhall. “Nationally, there is this huge explosive energy around volleyball, and the PVF allows the best of the best athletes to shine brightly here in the United States.”
Mendenhall says prior to the formation of the league women either had to go over seas to further their careers or give up the sport after college. “Now our young girls can dream of being shining stars, playing professionally, and winning championships with the most knowledgeable and passionate fans in the stratosphere. This is our time.”
Omaha is one of six Pro Volleyball Federation teams that will play next year. The others are Atlanta, San Diego, Orlando, Grand Rapids and Columbus.
