El voleibol está cambiando en España. O por lo menos está dando pasos necesarios para volver a instaurarse en un futuro, otra vez, en la élite. Este domingo se ha dado un paso más para seguir moldeando este deporte con una dosis de ilusión y compromiso de los asistentes a la Asamblea General Ordinaria en las instalaciones del Club de Campo de Madrid que han refrendado de manera unánime los nuevos cambios para este deporte. Entre los cuales estaban el presidente de la Confederación Europea de Voleibol (CEV), Roko Sikiric, y del presidente del Comité Olímpico Español, Alejandro Blanco, acompañando al presidente de la Real Federación Española de Voleibol (RFEVB), Felipe Pascual.

Los nuevos pilares del voleibol español
Entre las mejoras aprobadas por los asambleistas está la reestructuración de todas las competiciones de carácter nacional. Desde la Segunda Nacional, que pasa a tener una sola fase final y el resto de la liga dependerá de las territoriales; pasando por la Primera Nacional que se verá ampliada de 3 a 4 grupos; hasta llegar a la Superliga 2. La división de plata tendrá una gran transformación con la creación de un Grupo Oro que contará con los mejores equipos de la categoría de la temporada 2025/26, y dos Grupos Plata donde estarán los otros 24 equipos que componen esta división.
Un sistema no excluyente que permitirá competir a todos equipos por el objetivo final de ascender a la Superliga o Liga Iberdrola, pero que premiará la complejidad del Grupo Oro al tener de base un nivel deportivo más elevado. Este será un grupo donde el ganador obtendrá una plaza directa para estar en la División de Honor del voleibol, mientras que los cuatro clasificados entre el segundo y el quinto puesto deberán de jugar una fase de ascenso, junto con los campeones de los dos Grupos Plata. Un sistema que también contemplará una Fase de Descenso para controlar la meritocracia entre grupos y divisiones.

La profesionalización de la Superliga y la Liga Iberdrola
No son las únicas iniciativas que se han aprobado. La RFEVB también ha aprobado una batería de medidas que buscan profesionalizar más la División de Honor. A nivel contractual, existirá la obligatoriedad de tener, al menos, 10 jugadores y un entrenador con contrato profesional. Una apuesta que irá de la mano de un mayor cuidado de la comunicación que, en caso de cumplirse, tendrá un retorno económico en los clubes. Aunque serán los cambios deportivos los que permitirán que el voleibol luzca más para el gran público y que ya serán visibles en la temporada 2025/26
La existencia de un ‘Opening Day’ para la Superliga y Liga Iberdrola, donde uno de los partidos de la primera jornada será el encargado de presentar la nueva campaña a los aficionados y medios de comunicación. Además, la Federación pasará a asumir la organización directa de la Copa del Rey, la Copa de la Reina y la Supercopa de España aún en aquellos casos en los que exista un equipo que pueda jugar como local. Unas Copas que las próximas ediciónes se realizarán los emparejamientos por sorteo y una Supercopa que pasará a jugarse en coincidencia con la Copa de España en el mes de diciembre.Por último, la final de los Play Offs por el título pasará a disputarse al mejor de tres partidos.

La apuesta por las selecciones y la digitalización
Las selecciones nacionales de voleibol y vóley playa tendrán un aumento de las becas de los deportistas que oscila entre el 80% y el 300% respecto a las retribuciones de la temporada 2024. Aunque también cambiará el criterio por el que se recibirá una mayor o menor cuantía con el paso de valoración de antigüedad a rendimiento deportivo. Dos mejoras que irán acompañadas por un plan de marqueting específico para potenciar a Las Leonas del Vóley, los Red Lynxes y aquellas parejas de vóley playa que compitan por España.
Unos avances en todos los valores del voleibol español que irán de la mano de una digitalización del voleibol español. Destacala integración de las emisiones en una OTT común donde se podrá consumir todos los partidos y contenidos, pero no será la única. Llegará también la utilización del videochallenge en los partidos de la final de la Superliga y Liga Iberdrola, así como la implementación del acta digital en todas las competiciones nacionales. Así como la utilización de pantallas LED, la gratuidad del DataVolley para los clubes o la eliminación del uso de las impresoras y, por lo tanto, el ahorro de papel.

Alejandro Kirk comes through for Blue Jays: ‘I needed it, the team needed it’
Editor’s note: We’re thrilled to introduce Mitch Bannon as our Blue Jays beat writer. A native of Toronto, he previously covered the team for SI.com. This is his first story for The Athletic.NEW YORK — Opportunity hasn’t been Alejandro Kirk’s problem. The Blue Jays’ catcher has walked to the plate 27 times this season with a runner in scoring position, constantly a swing away from igniting an offense that badly needs a spark.AdvertisementTaking advantage of those chances has been the hard part. A month after signing a five-year, $58 million extension, Kirk entered Friday with just five RBI in the exact situations built for cashing in runs, with a man on second or third. He’d hit just .217 with runners in scoring position this year with a .544 OPS. On Friday, opportunity finally met execution.With a ninth-inning swing, Kirk came […]
2025 NFL Draft picks by college team, school: SEC, Big Ten separate from pack as Ohio State leads the way
Getty Images The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft was dominated by power conference schools, as the SEC and Big Ten were ubiquitous during Thursday night's action with 26 of the first 32 picks coming from the two most powerful conferences in the sport. That trend continued on Friday night during Day 2, as 21 more players from the SEC and Big Ten heard their names called in the 32 second-round picks. While not a surprise, it's a reminder of the direction college football is trending, as the transfer portal and the opportunity to cash in on NIL deals has made it far less likely that an NFL talent will make it through their junior year at a smaller program. In total, 66 of the 102 players selected in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft finished their collegiate careers […]
NFL Draft 2025: Here’s how much money Shedeur Sanders missed out on by not being drafted in first three rounds
Getty Images The story of the 2025 NFL Draft has to do with a player who hasn't even heard his name called yet. Former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, was expected to be a first-round pick, but instead went unselected in the first three rounds of the draft.The Pittsburgh Steelers passed on him multiple times, while the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns all selected different quarterbacks. Every player will be given the opportunity to compete whether they are a first-round pick or seventh-round pick, but their paychecks will be very different. For example, No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward is expected to sign a deal projected to be worth $48,757,500, according to Spotrac, while Tyler Shough, who was drafted 40th […]

Getty Images Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft concluded on Friday night with Colorado's Shedeur Sanders still not selected.It was slightly surprising to see Sanders not drafted on Thursday as just two quarterbacks (Ward and Jaxson Dart) were taken in the first round. However, Day 2 brought three more quarterbacks selected: Louisville's Tyler Shough went to the Saints at No. 40 in Round 2, Alabama's Jalen Milroe was selected by the Seahawks with the 92nd pick (Round 3), and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel was taken by the Browns with the 94th pick (Round 3).Want to know what I thought of every pick made in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft?

Luke Keaschall injury: Twins’ hot-hitting rookie suffers broken forearm
Matt Krohn Minnesota Twins promising rookie infielder/outfielder Luke Keaschall suffered a nondisplaced fracture in his right forearm on Friday, the club told reporters following the Twins' 11-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Keaschall suffered the injury when he was struck by a pitch from Kyle Hendricks in the first inning. Keaschall, in the lineup at DH, was able to run the bases after being hit on the arm, but he was pinch-hit for when his spot came up again in the bottom of the third. According to Twins dugout reporter Audra Martin, the club does not have a timetable for Keaschall's return. That the fracture is nondisplaced is a positive, but it still figures to be a lengthy absence for the 22-year-old. According to the Baseball Prospectus injury database, recovery time for forearm fractures tends to range from a bit […]
