Overview

Mission

The big lake youth volleyball association is organized exclusively for educational purposes, more specifically to promote the growth of amateur youth and junior volleyball for individuals under 18 years of age through program and resource development, education and events.

What it reported doing in 2025

The big lake youth volleyball association (blyvba) reaches over 100 youth players in the big lake and surrounding areas. It provides educational opportunities to students in the game of volleyball, as well as encouraging discipline, communication, teamwork, and dedication. In 2021, the blyvba provided a travel volleyball season (junior olympic volleyball), summer skills sessions for girls in grades 3-12, summer volleyball camps for grades k-12, and sand volleyball league for boys and girls grades 6-12. Blyvba served over 200 students through the above programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
