About VidaVibe Volleyball
SPREADING VOLLEYBALL VIBES SINCE 2012
Our Mission
To serve good vibes through inspiring apparel designed for lovers of a vibrant volleyball lifestyle.
Our Way of Life
VidaVibe Volleyball is an apparel brand designed for active participants of life - the players, the creators, the dreamers, the doers – all those that choose to live every day to the fullest, show up with a positive attitude, and dream about their next adventure. Our volleyball tribe embraces a coastal state of mind, no matter where they reside.
The name VidaVibe is inspired by the term “Pura Vida”, used frequently in Costa Rica and translated as “pure life” or “just life”. The locals embrace this phrase as an actual lifestyle, meaning to live life with no worries. Every day is a blessing - yesterday should be left in the past and today is an opportunity for new experiences. This is the essence of VidaVibe Volleyball.
LIVE. LOVE. PLAY.

Our History
In 2011, after years of experience working for corporations and armed with her MBA in Marketing, Owner & Founder Jenn Cibrone found herself ready for a new challenge. A noticeable need in the volleyball apparel market and a particularly inspiring mission trip to Costa Rica had her wheels turning. As an active volleyball player throughout her life, Jenn noticed that she only had a select few items of volleyball-related clothing or accessories, and even less that fit her style. Through her research, Jenn identified a true demand for a niche clothing brand focused on highlighting her favorite sport. When it seemed as though all the stars aligned, it was time to dive in. By 2012, Pura Vida Volleyball was born!
In its first year, the company managed to land merchandiser spots at three local tournaments in the Tampa Convention Center. Within two years, Pura Vida Volleyball expanded to the Northeast region with the addition of more tournaments and enough financial success for Jenn to take on growing the business full time.
Eight years and many growth spurts later, Pura Vida Volleyball had worked with major influencers, grown the team (including our über talented Vibe Designer, Mariah Embry), dove into e-commerce with a full warehouse space and photography studio and developed a donation partnership with Restored to Dream. For the 2023 season, the business is signed on as the official merchandiser for 20 volleyball tournaments throughout the U.S.
In 2021, Pura Vida Volleyball had its best year to date. As the brand grew, an interest for product expansion and broader scope of designs grew with it. While volleyball will always be at the core of the business, feeding into the momentum to move onward and upward drove the decision to expand the product line to a broader market. The team worked very hard over the course of its ninth year to find the best way to evolve the brand; all while staying true to the Pura Vida values.
We are so proud to announce that in conjunction with our 10th anniversary we have officially rebranded as VidaVibe Volleyball– an inclusive, active lifestyle brand. Our new apparel and accessories collection features some updated classics and brand new inspiring designs for all lovers of life!
