SAN DIEGO – The 2025 Major League Volleyball Draft is set for Monday, November 24, with the San Diego Mojo drafting third overall in the first round, the league office announced Tuesday. The next generation of Major League Volleyball stars will be selected live on Roku Sports Channel, with the FAST channel announced as the home of the 2025 MLV Draft. The start time of the draft has also been confirmed at 9:00 a.m. PT. San Diego will have four selections overall, as Mojo head coach Alisha Childress continues to build the roster for her first season in America’s Finest City.
The San Diego roster currently includes a pair of previous Mojo draft picks in opposite hitter Morgan Lewis, selected in the third round of the 2023 draft, and outside hitter Maya Tabron, who was chosen in the third round of the 2024 draft. Additionally, libero Kate Georgiades was a fifth-round selection by the Columbus Fury last year.
This year’s draft selection order for the four-round draft has also been announced. Leading the way will be the newest team – the Dallas Pulse – who will select No. 1 overall before the start of its first Major League Volleyball season.
Team order was determined by slotting teams into two groups. The non-postseason teams from the 2024 season and any expansion team(s) comprise the first group of selections from 1 to 4 in each round. The second half of each round (picks 5-8) is made up of the teams that earned postseason bids.
In round one, the Columbus Fury would have had the rights to the second choice, but the Atlanta Vibe will make the selection this year as a result of a trade for setter Tori Stringer that took place during the league’s first season.
Next up will be the No. 3 pick by the Mojo, followed by the No. 4 Grand Rapids Rise. The ensuing selections will come from the postseason teams, which are placed based on regular season finish, No. 5 Indy Ignite, No. 6 Orlando Valkyries, No. 7 Atlanta Vibe and No. 8 Omaha Supernovas.
Beginning with round two, teams in this group are moved according to their regular season record into the best position available in which they have not previously selected. For the first group of teams, Columbus will choose first in the second round, followed by Dallas, Grand Rapids and San Diego. That round will be concluded with a selection from Orlando, then Indy, Omaha and Atlanta.
The third and fourth rounds will follow the same pattern. Barring any trades between teams, no team is permitted to choose from the same slot in its group more than once. Teams will have up to eight minutes to make each selection.
