A1 Programs

The A1 Program is the National level of the USA Volleyball High Performance Program. This level consists of Men's and Women's Junior National Teams (MJNT, WJNT), Boys' and Girls' Youth National Teams (BYNT, GYNT) and Boys' and Girls' Select A1 camps (BSA1, GSA1). Junior and Youth Teams include the top 19 athletes per gender and age group chosen from High Performance tryouts.

The WJNT will participate in the 2011 FIVB Women’s Junior (U-20) World Championship being July 21-30 in Peru, while the GYNT will participate in the 2011 FIVB Girls’ Youth (U-18) World Championship scheduled for Aug. 12-21 in Turkey. The MJNT will compete in the 2011 FIVB Men’s Junior (U-21) World Championship held Aug. 1-10 in Brazil, while the BYNT will play in the 2011 FIVB Boys’ Youth (U-18) World Championship slated for Aug. 19-28 in Argentina.

Select A1 programs consist of the top 30-50 athletes per gender and age group from HP Tryouts. GSA1 and BSA1 teams train and compete at HP Championships (HPCs).

A2 Programs

A2 Programs consist of the top 20-50 athletes per gender and age group who were not selected to their respective A1 Program. These groups all train together for a number of days and then typically participate in a competition experience. Most A2 Programs train in the city where USA Volleyball High Performance Championships are held and then compete in HP Championships. Check the HP Championships page to see where the event will be held this year. This is an international event with teams from the United States and abroad attending.

The MJA2 program does not attend HP Championships. This group is usually invited to attend a 5-6 day camp.

Continental Teams

The Continental Team program involves both boys' and girls' teams that will participate in the HP Championships. Athletes for these teams will be exclusively from USAV Regions that do not field teams in this age group and gender for the HP Championships. Head coaches will be assigned by USAV from its Coaches Pipeline and assistant coaches will be assigned by recommendations from Regions.

A3 Camps

A3 Camps are the third tier of the HP Program. In 2010, approximately 350 volleyball athletes attended camps at this level, which held across the country during the months of June and July.

Sites for the 2010 Boys' A3 Camp were Long Beach and Wisconsin Dells, while 2010 Girls' A3 Camps were held in Ft. Worth, Colorado Springs, Grand Rapids, Hempstead, Ft. Lauderdale, San Francisco, and Wisconsin Dells.

Training Camps

Training Camps are the fourth tier of program selection for Girls who participate in an HP Tryout. In 2010, approximately 200 athletes attended Training Camps held in Long Beach and Wisconsin Dells for boys and Hempstead, Colorado Springs and Greensboro for girls.

Development Camps

Girls' Development Camps are the fifth tier of USAV HP Camps. Athletes in the Select or Youth age groups may attend.
