The planned addition of three new national qualifiers, to be owned by USAV, and the corresponding reduction in the number of bids available at all qualifiers meant that any clubs pursuing bids to the open division of JOs would have to attend many more of these expensive tournaments in order maintain the same odds of qualifing as existed before the additional qualifiers were added.

After numerous attempts by these clubs failed to pursuade USAV leadership to reconsider their growth plans, the JVA was born. The purpose of the JVA is to:

   1) grow the game of volleyball by providing a more affordable competitive schedule with less travel by air required, as well as creating more programs designed for elementary and junior high school players;

   2) improving the quality of operation for all juniors clubs through the sharing of best practices between all JVA clubs; and

   3) continuing to lobby for improvements in the conditions for junior volleyball such as greater access to public gyms, ending the season earlier than the first week of July, etc.

The JVA Championship will be held in Orlando Florida . Please click the below flyer form more information.....

Junior teams from China, Japan and Puerto Rico are again promised to be in attendance giving the tournament an international flair.

The JVA Championship features the traditional JOs gold medal winning clubs from the midwest including Sports Performance, Fusion, Asics Munciana, KIVA, Team Z, and Milwaukee Sting among others.
