COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 29, 2025) – USA Volleyball announces the 19 athletes on the 2025 U19 Girls National Team who will prepare for the 2025 FIVB Women’s U21 World Championship, Aug. 5-18, in Surabaya, Indonesia.
Due to a scheduling conflict with the NCAA season, the U19 team will step into the international spotlight to compete in the U21 age category for the second time. In 2023, a team comprised of U19 athletes placed sixth at the U21 World Championship.
These rising stars will participate in a training block from July 27 to Aug. 4 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. From this group, 12 athletes will be selected to form the final competition roster. The U.S. will compete in Pool B at Worlds, where it will face China, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Korea and Croatia.
The 2025 squad features nine athletes with prior age-group national team experience:
- Henley Anderson, 2024 U19 National Team, Continental Championship (Gold)
- Audrey Flanagan, 2024 U19 National Team, Continental Championship (Gold, Best Server, Best Receiver, Best Spiker)
- Genevieve Harris, 2024 U19 National Team, Continental Championship (Gold, Best Setter)
- Elena Hoecke, 2024 U19 National Team, Continental Championship (Gold)
- Isabelle Hoppe, 2024 U19 National Team, Continental Championship (Gold)
- Nadiya Johnson, 2024 U19 National Team
- Kendall Omoruyi, 2024 U19 National Team
- Jayden Robinson, 2024 U19 National Team, Continental Championship (Gold)
- Halle Thompson, 2024 U19 National Team, Continental Championship (Gold)
LOVB Salt Lake coach Tama Miyashiro will lead the team at U21 Worlds.
“I am beyond excited to work with this group,” Miyashiro said. “What an exciting time for these young athletes to train and compete at a high level. To travel and see what the world has to offer at this point in their career is going to be impactful. My hope is to help them along with their personal goals and volleyball career to be the best version of themselves. I’m looking forward to leading the charge with an amazing staff and go take on the world.”
