USA JR Nationals & High Performance
USA Volleyball is the National Governing Body for the sport of volleyball in the United States and is recognized as such by the Federation Internationale de Volleyball and the United States Olympic Committee. Each spring, USA Volleyball hosts High Performance Tryouts for boys at various locations across the nation. Depending on your evaluation, you may be offered a spot in a USA Volleyball High Performance National Training Program hosted at locations across the country. You would then have the opportunity to register for the program and enter the USAV High Performance Athlete Pipeline.
Teams may also wish to enter bid tournaments that will allow them to qualify for the annual USA Volleyball Junior Nationals. To learn more about USA Volleyball, click here.
