Getting Close to Crunch Time

Just three weekends remain for girls’ clubs to capture their spot among the best teams in the country through the national qualifier process. Afterwards, teams will still be able to qualify for the GJNC at regional events or by earning an at-large berth.   

The second two weekends of the Mizuno Hoosier Mid East Qualifier will take place April 8-10 in Indianapolis as six age divisions will be in action. The first installment of the two-weekend Mizuno Northern Lights qualifier will also take place April 8-10 in Minneapolis, with 14 and 15 open and club teams competing.

Teams will take the courts at the Far Western on April 9-11 in Reno, Nev. Five age divisions will compete in the Reno-Sparks Convention Center for a chance to play at GJNC.
