COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 23, 2026) – USA Volleyball has announced the 14 Girls U17 athletes who will represent the United States at the 2026 NORCECA Girls U17 Pan American Cup. It’s the first time a U.S. U17 girls team has competed in the event.
The 14 athletes were chosen from a pool of U17 National Team players who recently completed a training block in Texas. The Pan Am Cup is scheduled for May 26-31 in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and the U.S. will be in a pool with Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
In its international debut last year, the U.S. Girls U17 Team captured gold at the 2025 NORCECA Women’s U17 Continental Championship.
