COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 15, 2025) – USA Volleyball is expanding its boys junior national qualifying calendar with the addition of the 2026 Boys West Coast Qualifier. The inaugural event will take place January 2-4, 2026, at the Momentous Sports Center in Irvine, California.
“By introducing a new USAV boys junior national qualifier in Southern California, we’re giving clubs and teams a valuable early-season opportunity to test themselves before heading into major competitions for the 2025-26 season,” said USA Volleyball Chief Operating Officer Steve Bishop. “With the 2026 USAV Boys Southwest Classic in Phoenix already topping 700 registered teams, this new event in Irvine will allow athletes to sharpen their play and gain momentum ahead of one of the largest boys tournaments in the country.”
