🚨 BREAKING NEWS: USA Volleyball is bringing BACK the Patriot Divisions for 2027! 🏐 After previously announcing plans to replace the Patriot Divisions for 10U–17U with a separate national championship, USA Volleyball has announced another change! Here's what club coaches and parents need to know: 🏐 Patriot Divisions are returning for the 2027 Girls Junior National Championships (GJNC). 🏐 Ages 10U–18U will have Patriot Division opportunities across the three GJNC events. 🏐 NO QUALIFYING BID REQUIRED! Patriot is a non-bid division, allowing eligible teams to participate without earning a bid at a National Qualifier. 🏐 The NEW Girls Junior Club Championship (GJCC) is still happening in Anaheim, June 5–7, 2027. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Teams can register for only ONE of these non-bid championship events during the season, so clubs will need to choose which event works best for their teams. This is a significant update for clubs already planning their 2027 tournament schedules! 💬 Coaches and club parents: Do you prefer having the Patriot Divisions at GJNC, or do you like the idea of a separate national championship? 📌 Source: USA Volleyball, October 23, 2026 #USAVolleyball #ClubVolleyball #GJNC #VolleyballNews #volleyball - @coachalisonaz
