ABOUT JUNIOR MENS INDOOR
The Junior Indoor Volleyball Pathway is designed to develop high-performing individuals through structured national programmes that build toward the New Zealand Under 20 Teams, and ultimately prepare athletes for selection into the Volley Ferns, Volley Blacks, college scholarships, and professional opportunities overseas.
This pathway reflects Volleyball New Zealand’s long-term commitment to enhancing New Zealand’s competitive standing on the global stage and ensuring our emerging athletes are ready for the next level of international volleyball.
New Zealand Under 20 Team
The New Zealand Under 20 Men’s and Women’s Teams operate in a two year cycle targeting to compete at the Asian U20 Championships, sanctioned by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC). These teams represent a crucial performance step between junior and senior national team environments.
Athletes are identified through national trials, sustained involvement in national competitions such as NZ Secondary Schools (NZSS), Inter-Provincial Championships (IPC), and NZ Club Championships, and ongoing monitoring by national coaches.
National coaches and selectors attend NZSS Nationals, IPC, and Club Championships to scout and track athletes involved in the Junior Pathway.
