Lloy Ball

Volleyball has been in his heart and home since the day he was born. His father, Arnie, has played and coached volleyball ever since Lloy can remember. It was Arnie that really led Lloy to the game that would make him who he is today. Lloy began playing at a very young age, maybe 4 or 5. "I remember dad setting up pillows along the floor in the family room. Then, he and I would play one-on-one volleyball with a balloon. Slowly, I progressed to a heavier ball and more organized games." Lloy joined the USA national team in June of 1994. During his tenure, Lloy scored: a bronze medal at the 1994 World Championships, best server in the world in 1995, starting setter for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, best setter in the world 1999, starting setter and captain of the 2000 Sydney and 2004 Athens Olympic Teams. Lloy was voted MVP and best setter at the 2007 World League Finals, which the USA won Gold for the first time is their history. Lloy finished his career leading the USA national team to a Gold Medal in Beijing. He now plays for Russian team: Zenit Kazan.
