There is a new two year cycle for the Junior Women's team, starting in October 2020. So, from October 2020 the Junior Women's team is for athletes born in 2004 and 2005.
Following the open trials in October 2020, there will be a wider training squad named (in early 2021) who will train together to prepare for either a domestic event, or the Australian Junior Volleyball Champs.
There will then be a further selection camp in October 2021 to finalise selections for the 2022 Asian Champs.

Junior programme info 

The Junior programme for 2021/2022 will involve trials, training, and competitive opportunities internally and abroad, culminating with the pinnacle event of Asian Champs in 2022. The purpose of the junior programme is to start to prepare our best athletes in that age group to become future VolleyFerns and VolleyBlacks. 

 

The cycle will begin with open trials in Hamilton and Christchurch in October before junior training squads (selections following these trials) will assemble following New Zealand Secondary School Champs. A minimum of one team from each age level within the Junior Programme (eg one 2003 and one 2004 team for men; and one 2004 and one 2005 team for the women) will then be selected for an internal competition or to attend Australian Junior Volleyball Champs in 2021.  

Trials will then be held again in October 2021, before a New Zealand Junior Team will be selected to prepare for Asian Champs in 2022.   

Eligibility 

This try out is open to current NZ Citizens born in the years 2003-2004 for men and 2004-2005 for women. Athletes born after those years may contact Volleyball New Zealand for approval to attend. 

Cost 

Cost for this trial is $140. This will include a trial shirt and participation in the trial. All travel and food costs will be the athlete’s responsibility.
