The WNT Open Program is a development opportunity used for potential selection to both the U.S. Women’s National Team and age-group national teams of USA Volleyball’s National Team Development Program (NTDP). In 2025, members of the U.S. Women’s National Team will compete in the following events: Volleyball Nations League, Pan American Cup and NORCECA Final Six.
The 2025 age-group national teams to be organized by the NTDP include Women’s U21 (athletes born in 2005 and younger) and Girls U19 (athletes born in 2007 and younger) competing at their respective Pan American Cups and FIVB World Championships. New in 2025, the NTDP will organize a Women’s U23 National Team (athletes born in 2003 and younger) that will train and compete at an international event in lieu of the Women’s Collegiate National Team, which was a domestic-only training program.
The program is scheduled for Feb. 21-23 at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and is open to current and recently graduated college-age athletes born in the years 2001-2007* inclusive. Athletes born outside of this age group may email Kris Berzins for approval to attend.
The dates and details for U.S. Women’s National Team and age-group national teams events are being finalized, and they will be announced soon. This program is used for consideration for selection to our Women’s National Team and related events.
