COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 26, 2023) – The Girls Junior National Championship for the 14-17 age divisions will run June 28-July 6 at McCormick Place Convention Center, Chicago, Ill.

The GJNC is the United States’ premier junior girls club tournament and attracts college scouts from across the country.

It is the first year that the 14-17 age divisions have been given a separate tournament and their numbers are greater than ever with 1,368 teams registered. There are now seven competitive divisions for each age group in the 14-17 divisions.

The event will bring as many as 40,000 people to the city.

Teams in the 14 and 15 age divisions will compete June 28-July 1. The 16s and 17s will compete July 2-6.

Many of the nation’s top college recruits and members of the U.S. Women’s National Team have competed in this event as a part of their junior careers at the club level, with several going on to compete in the Olympic Games.

Among the U.S. Women’s National Team players who have competed at GJNCs are 2020 Olympic gold medalists Micha Hancock, Chiaka Ogbogu and Justine Wong-Orantes.

Every court will be live streamed on BallerTV.com, which is a subscription service. Four courts will be live streamed for free at USAVolleyball.org.
