ORLANDO, Fla. (June 29, 2022) -- The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) is currently hosting one of the world’s largest volleyball tournaments. From June 15 – July 1, more than 70,000 athletes and coaches, representing 48 states, two U.S. territories, and four international countries (Canada, Colombia, Dominican Republic, and Peru), will converge on the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) for the 49th AAU Girls’ Junior National Volleyball Championships and AAU Boys’ Junior National Volleyball Championships.
Session 3 of the 49th AAU Girls’ Junior National Volleyball Championships has closed out its final game and a select group of teams are heading home as AAU National Champions. Session 3 started on June 23 and run until the last serve was hit and title was earned on June 26. Teams from the 16u to the 18u divisions left all they had on the court!
During Session 3, teams from across the nation traveled to the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) and occupied North, South, and the West Concourse. With more than 210 courts with nonstop action, athletes were giving it their all. Teams played with dreams of making it to a title game on the championship courts at OCCC and ESPN Wide World of Sports. Who would hold the trophy high at the end?
The action started with pool play serving it up on June 23. Friday, June 24, was one of the staples of the AAU Junior National Volleyball Championships with the Dig Pink Campaign. As part of the AAU Cares initiative, AAU is again partnering with the Side-Out Foundation as an official Dig Pink Campaign location to raise money for breast cancer research. All participants were encouraged to wear pink for AAU’s Dig Pink Day on June 24. For more information on the 2022 Dig Pink Campaign, click here.
On the court, the competition was back and forth each day. Once pool play was concluded, brackets were set and it was time to find the best of the best in each division. ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex hosted the Gold division championship play. Watch ESPN and BallerTV were streaming all of the action live. At the end of the day, only 10 teams walked away with the title of AAU National Champion:
16 Aspire - 1st- Kairos 16 Gamma (SD)
16 Spirit - 1st- Sports Performance 16 White (IL)
