Abstract	This study examines the current state of volleyball in the USA against a heuristic model for high performance sport integrated with mass participation. A questionnaire was utilized for the following elements of the model: talent development; advanced athlete support; training centers; competitions; intellectual services; partnerships with supporting agencies; balanced and integrated funding; and structures of mass and elite sport. Twelve international experts including executives from sport governing bodies, coaches, academicians, and administrators, validated survey questions. 131 coaches completed the questionnaire in order to determine the areas for improvement for US volleyball systems. Possible advancements were identified through semi-structured discussions with seven volleyball administrators. Results suggested possible enhancements at macro-level (e.g., improved revenue and partnership structures for more developmental programs, especially for boys), meso-level (e.g., additional sources and models for better coach education and more facilities), and micro-level (e.g., lifelong healthy participation guidelines and conditions).
