COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Jan. 4, 2024) – USA Volleyball will host a National Team Development Program (NTDP) Experience one day prior to the start of the 2024 Boys Junior National Championship (BJNC) on June 26-29 in Dallas.
The Experience will take place June 25 (check-in day for BJNCs) at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas.
The NTDP Experience is a one-day development opportunity for invited athletes that showcases the training methods used by U.S. national teams and at NTDP Training Series events. Athletes will be nominated by club directors participating at BJNCs and USA Volleyball regions.
The Experience will combine on-court competition with an off-court classroom session emphasizing the best practices for success in international volleyball and in alignment with the five pillars of the USAV Development Model – Team, Heart, Body, Mind, Craft.
Club coaches, club directors, and athlete parents will be welcome to attend and observe the event, which will use resources from the NTDP Academy (a free benefit for USA Volleyball members).
Nominations to the Experience will be accepted between January 8 and February 29 of 2024. NTDP will send invitations at the end of USAV boys qualifying events.
Coaches from 14 NCAA men’s college volleyball programs and the NTDP Men’s Indoor Scouting Network will staff the Experience led by Springfield’s Charlie Sullivan (Boys U19 National Team Head Coach 2022-2023)
