    The AVCA History Commission was formed as a subgroup to the AVCA Diversity Development Team on December 1, 2020. The History Commission’s purpose is to recognize, amplify, and celebrate the rich and diverse history of the sport of volleyball. The first phase of the Commission’s work will explore the contributions of Black Americans to the sport of volleyball. Phase 1 is timed to coincide with the 40th Anniversary of the founding of the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

To have courage and the sensitivity to follow your hidden dreams and stand tall against the odds that are bound to fall in your path.

FLORA “FLO” HYMAN Flora Jean “Flo” Hyman was born July 31, 1954 in Los Angeles, California, the second of eight children born to George W. and Warrene Hyman. Towering over her peers as a youth, Hyman was nicknamed “Jolly green giant” and was always the target of stares and questions about her height. Standing 6’2” as a 12-year old, she used her height to her advantage and began playing in two-on- two beach volleyball tournaments with her sister Suzanne as partner. By the time Flo was a senior in high school, she had developed a lethal spike.
