FEATURING
Junior Day National will be held at McGonigle Hall on the campus of Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. Temple is a member of the NCAA Division I American Athletic Conference. The participants in the Junior Day National event will represent some of the best players across the country who attended a previous Junior Day Volleyball regional event this summer or received an invite. Players will be given the opportunity to work with our on-court staff of college coaches to get valuable feedback on their skills through verbal evaluation and game play that will break down all of the valued metrics in today’s game. We will also be inviting hundreds of other coaches to the event to observe the two days of action.
Players will be broken down into nine teams. Each team will consist of 4 outside hitters, 2 setters, 3 middle blockers, 3 liberos/defensive specialists. Players will rotate throughout gameplay to ensure equal playing time and adequate evaluation.
WHAT WILL BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE JUNIOR DAY NATIONAL SHOWCASE:
TEAM SHOWCASE: Each position will get a session on court on Friday with coaches for evaluation.
INDIVIDUAL TEAM TALK: Each team will get to have a more intimate discussion with a college coach to ask questions and discuss what coaches look for in gameplay and showcase environments.
GAMES: Each team will play six matches with four on Saturday and two on Sunday plus a playoff round.. All players will receive equal playing time to ensure a proper in-game evaluation.
SEMINAR ON COLLEGE DEVELOPMENT & RECRUITING: On Friday, July 19th a discussion with parents and players on development at the college level and the college recruiting process will take place. This will be an open forum between parents, players and the coaches that are involved in these processes on a day to day basis. The Seminar on College Development & Recruiting will also double as the opportunity to check in.
HOW DOES THIS DIFFER FROM A STANDARD
JUNIOR DAY REGIONAL EVENT?
Much like our Junior Day regional events we will put college coaches on the court with high school players who want to learn about today’s game from the actual coaches who are at the college level. However, there are some great additions to our National Event that you won’t see in a regional setting:
- Live Game Play with present playing schedules
- Skill Evaluation
- Intimate small group discussions with coaches about how to engage college coaches in a coaching and showcasing environment
- Each player will be provided a Junior Day National numbered jersey
- Opportunity to compete against players from all over the country
