College Volleyball Weekly, the recurring series that anchors Volleyball Magazine, is a fair way into what the whole outlet does. Each installment tracks NCAA indoor play week to week, and it sits next to the match recaps, rankings and analysis that fill the rest of the calendar. The publication says it has covered the sport for more than four decades, and a niche title lasting that long is worth noting before anything else.
Longevity in a single-sport press is rare. That Volleyball Magazine still publishes, and in digital form, says the audience never drifted away, which is worth noting since coverage this specific rarely gets sustained attention in the mainstream sports press.
What the coverage spans
The range is wider than the college label suggests. Volleyball Magazine follows men's and women's indoor volleyball at the NCAA level, professional and beach volleyball, and the USA national teams through the international calendar. Alongside the results sit player and coach profiles, plus rankings that give a long season some shape and let readers argue about who belongs where.
The beach side deserves its own mention. Volleyball Magazine covers the professional beach tours and the USA national-team programs as a standing beat, not as an afterthought, which is unusual for a title rooted in the college indoor game. Add the pro indoor coverage and match analysis that goes past the final score, and the result is an outlet trying to hold the entire sport in view at once.
A single title carrying indoor, beach and national-team news gives you continuity that a general outlet's occasional volleyball article never manages. The same writers follow the same teams from one week to the next, which is the thing that turns scattered scores into a season you can actually follow.
College Volleyball Weekly and the NCAA beat
The NCAA beat is where Volleyball Magazine puts most of its weight. The weekly series keeps a running thread on the college season, and the recaps and rankings read as though they are written for people who already follow specific programs, not for someone checking a single score in passing.
Recruiters and scouts tracking college talent are plainly part of the intended readership, and the profile pieces on players and coaches feed that same appetite. The rankings in particular give the coverage a spine; a numbered top of the table is the kind of thing readers come back to weekly to see who moved. If you care which freshman setter just took over a ranked team, this is built for you.
The Art of Coaching library
One feature separates Volleyball Magazine from a plain news feed. Through a partnership with The Art of Coaching, readers get access to a library of coaching videos and training resources. For a coach or a committed player, that shifts the site from something you read into something you can work from, drill by drill.
It is the clearest sign that Volleyball Magazine is pitched at the people who play and teach the sport as much as the ones who watch it.
The people behind it and who it serves
The masthead is small for the ground it covers. Volleyball Magazine is published and edited by Lee Feinswog, with Ed Chan credited as lead photographer, and third-party business listings place the operation in Braintree, Massachusetts. A two-name core doing this much reporting explains both the site's consistency of voice and its focus: there is no room to chase everything, so it chases volleyball hard.
There is also something reassuring about a title carried by named people. You know who is writing and who is shooting the photographs, which is more than many larger sports sites offer. That byline consistency is part of why the analysis reads as informed rather than aggregated.
The audience falls out of the content naturally. Fans who want more than a box score, players and coaches after craft, and recruiters watching the college pipeline all have a standing reason to return. My own read is that the coaching tie-in is what keeps a working coach coming back to Volleyball Magazine, where a casual fan might drop in only for scores during a big weekend. Recruiters and college scouts, in particular, get something a general sports page cannot give them: sustained, name-level attention on players who will never reach a national broadcast.
Its following on Facebook, Instagram and X
There is no trail of customer reviews to weigh, and that is exactly what you would expect. This is a media publication, not a shop or a service that collects star ratings, so the quiet on Google or Trustpilot counts for nothing either way. Where Volleyball Magazine shows its standing is on social platforms. The Facebook page carries 26,240 likes, the Instagram account sits around 51,200 followers, and the X account around 58,400.
For a single-sport title those are solid figures, and they point to a readership that treats Volleyball Magazine as a regular stop through the season rather than a page found once and forgotten.
Whether it is worth bookmarking
Contact is the one soft spot. Third-party sources point to an About Us page that invites story ideas, opinions, event tips and submissions, and Feedspot lists an email in the form of an address at volleyballmag.com. No public phone number or street address surfaced, and the site itself was hard to reach directly while researching this, so those details could not be confirmed on the page. For an outlet like this that runs partly on reader tips, a working submissions route counts for more than a phone number would, and that piece is in place.
The analysis is what raises it above a wire feed. A recap that only lists points is easy to find anywhere; Volleyball Magazine tends to explain why a match turned, which player changed it, and what it means for the rankings. That editorial judgement is the hard part to replicate, and it is why the long run reads as earned experience and not simple age.
Set beside DiG Magazine, which lives entirely on beach volleyball, or Off the Block and its men's-college niche, Volleyball Magazine wins on sheer coverage: indoor, beach and national-team news under one masthead, plus a coaching library that a single-lane title has no reason to build. Someone who follows only the beach game might still keep DiG in the rotation, and fairly so. But for a reader who wants the whole sport in one place across a full season, Volleyball Magazine is the more complete habit, and four decades of doing it lend the recommendation some weight.
