Your Path to the Podium
National Team Development Program
Young volleyball athletes who want to take the next step on their path to the podium can now be part of the new USA Volleyball National Team Development Program (NTDP).
Launching this year, the NTDP will fully replace the USA Volleyball High Performance program. Since the 1990s, USAV High Performance has identified, evaluated, trained and developed young athletes to build a sustainable pipeline of future Olympians and Paralympians.
The NTDP will increase the opportunities for athletes to be seen and evaluated and to develop within the USA Volleyball National Team system.

U.S. Men's National Team
"Everyone's trying to keep everyone positive and work hard [on the Men's National Team]. It's an easy group to be around. The guys are good people. We all have a diverse way of thinking, which is really cool. That’s our strength: tons of different ways of thinking, and tons of different approaches to life."
