Tachikara is proud to be the “Official Volleyball” of the NAIA. With the help of the NAIA Head Coaches Committee Tachikara is excited to introduce the NEW NAIA GOLD Volleyball.  The new ball features Tachikara’s patented Dual Bladder Construction (DBC) as well as a new gold foil design which includes the Champions of Character logo on the back. This new ball will be provided for play in the 2008 championship tournaments and available sometime next year.

In addition every qualified college/university traveling to the Women’s Volleyball National Championship in Sioux City, Iowa will receive a $250 Travel Expense Reimbursement directly from Tachikara. Each year to qualify for this optional program you just need to order your 6 Official NAIA Volleyballs from Tachikara.

The NAIA has continuously provided an excellent level of competition in the sport of volleyball and Tachikara is again proud to associate with such athletes.
