New Zealand Junior Beach Tour

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.
