About VolleyLens
We turn volleyball into insight.
A product of LeoSoft, LLC, based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Our Mission
VolleyLens brings transparency and data-driven insights to youth club volleyball. We believe every team deserves fair, comprehensive rankings based on actual match performance — not politics or perception.
What We Do
Elo-based power rankings for thousands of youth and college club volleyball teams.
Tournament Competitiveness Index (TCI) measuring event quality and competitive balance.
Composite scores combining team performance into club-level and state-level rankings.
Community-contributed player profiles with positions, stats, and team affiliations.
Our Methodology
We use a sophisticated Elo rating system starting at a base of 1500 points. Teams gain or lose points based on match outcomes, with the K-factor of 32 determining rating volatility. The model considers every match a team plays across the major youth and college club competitions they participate in.
Our Coverage
50,000+ teams · 700,000+ matches · 500+ tournaments · 50 states · Youth club & college club divisions
How we know what we know
VolleyLens rankings are not a press poll, a coach vote, or an opinion. Every number on this site is computed from real match results — not surveys, not subjective takes:
- 700,000+ matches rated across 50,000+ club teams and 50 states.
- Every match counts equally. There is no "key matchup" weighting. A Tuesday tournament pool match changes the rating the same way a national-qualifier final does, scaled by the opponent's strength.
- We grade our own predictions publicly at /accuracy. Each forecast is scored after the actual match concludes.
- Rankings refresh nightly. Most tournament results land in the rankings within 24–48 hours of the final match.
Who We Are
VolleyLens is built by a father-son team united by a shared passion for volleyball and technology.
Leo Marushevskyi
Father · Software engineer & founder
A computer scientist, stats enthusiast, and AI practitioner who first picked up a volleyball in college and never put it down. Over 25 years of playing, coaching, and eventually navigating the youth club volleyball system as a parent — watching his son Lev compete from 14U through 18U and the college recruiting process — he gained a front-row seat to the tools the volleyball community relies on. The takeaway was clear: the data was fragmented across silos, rankings were opaque, and families deserved better. Armed with a deep background in software engineering and a conviction that transparency wins, Leo set out to build what he wished had existed all along.
Lev Marushevskyi
Son · Player, AI Engineer & Co-Founder
A player who grew up inside the system, understanding firsthand what athletes, teammates, and coaches actually need from a rankings platform. Now an emerging AI engineer focused on computer vision and deep learning, Lev brings the technical chops and the insider perspective that keeps VolleyLens grounded in real player experience rather than abstract metrics.
Together, Leo and Lev combine decades of volleyball knowledge with modern engineering to deliver tools that are open, data-driven, and built for the community — not for gatekeepers. Every feature on VolleyLens exists because one of us wished it existed when we needed it most.
