USA Volleyball announced last week that there will be two more divisions added to compete in at the USAV Junior National Championships, making for 7 total.

The Regions will now have a new division to award bids from called the Freedom division which will be below the American division for ages 14-18s. This allows all regions to receive at least 1 more bid with a potential of 2 with reallocation.

The new Liberty division is a Qualifier-only division that will fall between USA & American for ages 13-18s and will give 2 bids is the required numbers are met. We will also add the 12 USA division to Qualifiers as well for 2022.

The new structure will look like this (ranking from top to lowest division):

Open
National
USA
Liberty
American
Freedom
Patriot
