Colorado Springs, Colo. (Dec. 9, 2022) – Thirty-seven athletes with ties to the USA Volleyball National Team Development Program (NTDP) were named to the 2022 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Girls High School All-America Teams in November.
Launched in 2021, the mission of NTDP is to identify, recruit and accelerate the development of high-potential junior volleyball athletes for the purpose of achieving sustained international competitive excellence.
Athletes can earn the honor to train with the NTDP at quarterly training series events and with age-group national teams. In 2022, four indoor U.S. age-group national teams won their world championship qualifier in the same year, an historic first.
This is the 17th year the AVCA has awarded All-America status. A record 1,183 nominees were submitted, with 300 athletes named either First-, Second- or Third-Team or Honorable Mention All-American.
Congratulations to the girls who earned All-America status.
