USA MEN'S NATIONAL TEAM IN ANAHEIM
"Sports are integral to Anaheim's vitality and I am pleased to say that Anaheim will now be the official training site of the men's national team as they prepare for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and the 2012 Olympics in London."
-Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle 
"This is a great step forward for USA Volleyball and especially for its men's national team. Relocating from Colorado Springs to Anaheim places the team 'back' in an environment that culturally fosters and supports volleyball."
-USA Volleyball President Al Monaco. 
"This will benefit the City, the team and the volleyball community as a whole and we hope that many other amateur sports programs will follow."
-Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle 
"Anaheim offers USAV an opportunity to partner with a nationally known destination city and to be co-located with a variety of major league sports teams that call Anaheim home. And, it will open an avenue for USAV to attract other sponsors and partners who can further the growth of volleyball as a viable and recognizable sport property."
-USA Volleyball President Al Monaco

external links About the move The City of Anaheim is proud to be the new host city for the USA Men’s National Volleyball Team. In July 2005, Team USA trained in Anaheim for two weeks. Following that visit, USA stunned the world’s best team, 2004 Olympic gold medalist Brazil, to win the America’s Cup tournament for the first time in USA Volleyball history. The team went on to win first place in the FIVB World Championship Qualifying Tournament in Puerto Rico and in the NORCECA Continental Championship in Canada. In November, the team took second place in Japan at the FIVB World Grand Champions Cup. By the end of 2005, Team USA had posted the highest winning percentage of any men's national team since 1988 and registered 27 wins - the most by a men's team since 2000. The team finished the year by winning 18 of its last 19 matches, including 14 straight at one point. Officials from USA Volleyball believe the two-week training session in Anaheim made a significant difference on the team’s performance internationally and they are banking on the fact that it will increase its chances of winning an Olympic gold medal in 2008. National Sponsors

The City and USAV will continue to actively pursue additional sponsors in support of the men's team.
