The Women’s National Team Open Program, formerly known as the Open Tryout, is part of the selection process for the U.S. Women’s National Team, USA Volleyball’s NCAA Elite Athlete List, and the 2022 U.S. Women’s Collegiate National Team.
The program is scheduled for Feb. 25-27 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 1997-2003* inclusive. Athletes born outside of this age group may email Erin Virtue for approval to attend.
The 2022 U.S. Women’s Collegiate National Team will train in Anaheim alongside the U.S. Women’s National Team athletes and staff, June 19-25. This immersive training experience will help to accelerate the development of top collegiate athletes and allow those athletes a unique opportunity to have an inside look at the culture and training of Olympic gold medalists.
