The Northern Ireland Volleyball Association’s stated Vision is “to foster the sport of volleyball as a human endeavour”.

Volleyball is a participant oriented sport which provides a quality experience to all participants. It is participated in throughout a person’s lifetime and provides everyone with the opportunity to be involved. The sport is based on strong values of community teamwork and communication and plays an important role in the education process. It includes all groups and individuals who wish to be partners in its delivery system and is oriented toward the achievement of excellence appropriate to the abilities and desires of its participants, backed up by appropriate facilities.

In 2013 “If any person in Northern Ireland wants to play volleyball, there is an outlet, at a level that is appropriate to you, where you can play volleyball”.
