Earlier this month, the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced the ninth annual Under Armour Girls High School All-America Teams. A total of 150 girls were chosen on either the First, Second or Third Team or were named as Honorable Mentions and many players from those lists have already committed to play at some of the top schools at the collegiate level. The players that were selected for the First Team will be invited to play in the Under Armour All-America Volleyball Match & Skills Competition, which will be held at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City on Friday, December 19th.

The AVCA requirements for nomination were that the “student-athlete be in her senior year of high school, that she be nominated by her high school coach, that her coach be a member of the AVCA and that her individual season statistics versus all opponents for the entire season be entered into MaxPreps, a free service that aggregates and distributes data on high school sports.”

Of the 150 girls chosen, 115 have participated in AAU at some point in their volleyball careers, making a total of 75% of the list former or current AAU members. Twenty of the 24 players chosen as the First Team All-America, 19 of the Second Team, and 17 of the Third Team, along with 59 making the Honorable Mentions list all grew up playing AAU.

Congratulations to all of the players that made up the 150 athletes selected for these teams and a special recognition to the following AAU Volleyball athletes for this great accomplishment.
