COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Jan. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- USA Volleyball and Blue Diamond Almond Breeze have partnered for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, making Almond Breeze the organization's Official almondmilk.

"USA Volleyball welcomes Blue Diamond Almond Breeze to our growing list of valued partners," USA Volleyball Secretary General Kerry Klostermann said. "By partnering with Almond Breeze, a beverage that offers consumers and athletes a healthy lifestyle option, we can provide added value to our National Team athletes and support staff to promote greater success in training and competition. Our athletes serve as healthy, strong and courageous role models for our hundreds of thousands of junior athletes, and this partnership helps connect the two groups with better-for-you choices."
Blue Diamond Almond Breeze will not only help fuel Team USA Volleyball athletes, but will have a presence at select USA Volleyball events, including the USA Junior Beach Tour and Tour Championships, 2016 USA Volleyball Girls' Junior National Championships, 2016 USA Volleyball Boys' Junior National Championships and the USA Volleyball Open National Championships.
