The New Zealand Junior Beach Tour is an exciting initiative designed to inspire the next generation of beach volleyball players across Aotearoa. Launched during the 2025/2026 summer season, the tour provides U19 athletes with a structured series of events in a fun, supportive, and professional environment at iconic locations nationwide.
The Junior Tour bridges the gap between school participation and the national New Zealand Beach Tour, offering a clear development pathway while emphasising learning, connection, and enjoyment. A highly successful inaugural season, marked by strong participation and positive feedback, has confirmed the tour’s value and laid a strong foundation for the future of junior beach volleyball.
