GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Grand Rapids Rise inaugural starts this week. The Rise will play all of its home games at Van Andel Arena starting Thursday night when they take on the Columbus Fury. The Rise is part of the seven-team Pro Volleyball Federation launching this year.
"We really have come together since the training camp and developed a lot of comradery there and the team grew closer together. We added the draftees after that and we've watched how that's come together," Rise head coach Cathy George said. "We know this team is going in it for the right reasons, going after it."
