In a news release on July 30, Athletes Unlimited (AU), the innovative U.S. professional volleyball league, announced it would make its home in Nashville, Tennessee. Matches will be played at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium for the duration of the season which will run from February 26 to April 4, 2021. Practices will take place at the TOA Sports Performance Center in Franklin, Tennessee, home of Alliance Volleyball Club.

“The impact and educational opportunities we hope to gain from AU is more valuable than any rent they could pay,” said Abbey West, Alliance’s Managing Director.
