The Liga de Voleibol Superior Masculino (LVSM) is a men's professional volleyball league in Puerto Rico. The competitions are organized by the Puerto Rican Volleyball Federation (Federación Puertorriqueña de Voleibol, FPV).
Volleyball arrived in Puerto Rico following the arrival of Americans to the island, through the Young MenâÂÂs Christian Association (YMCA). It spread throughout the island thanks to American teachers. The sport gradually became part of Puerto Rican culture, eventually becoming one of the most popular.
The Federación Puertorriqueña de Voleibol (FPV) established a professional men's volleyball league. In its first season, held in 1958, 10 teams participated: Santurce, Hato Rey, Army, Aguada, Ciales, Guayama, Ponce, Yauco, Naranjito, and RÃÂo Piedras. Naranjito was crowned champion after defeating RÃÂo Piedras in the finals.
