“Juniors” volleyball is congruent to select soccer and AAU sports. It is the grassroots movement dedicated to get kids from all over the country to participate and excel in the sport of volleyball. It is unlike community league sports in that participants must try out and be accepted to a team to compete. The name comes from the former national championship, “USAVolleyball Junior Olympic National Championship”. Several organizations governing youth volleyball exist now, each as an improvement upon previous goals, and now adopting the term “Juniors Volleyball” to imply playing leagues similar to select soccer.
