Las Vegas to Host 2022 Boys Junior National Championship

The 2022 Boys Junior National Championship (BJNC) will be held in Las Vegas, a city known for its vibrant energy and world-class entertainment. Organized by USA Volleyball, this prestigious event will take place from June 30 to July 7 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, situated in the iconic Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

The BJNC is regarded as the United States’ premier junior boys club tournament, attracting the most talented young athletes and college scouts from all corners of the country. It serves as an important platform for players to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level.

In its 43rd year, the BJNC will bring together thousands of athletes, coaches, officials, staff, and spectators to the city. With championships being contested in age groups ranging from 12-and-under to 18-and-under, the event promises fierce competition and exciting matches.

This will be the second time that Las Vegas has been chosen to host a major USA Volleyball event. In 2021, the city successfully hosted the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championship, further establishing its reputation as a premier destination for volleyball tournaments.

Jamie Davis, President and CEO of USA Volleyball, expressed excitement about bringing this prestigious championship to Las Vegas, stating, “The teams competing will be the best in the country, and I am sure that they will enjoy the energy and excitement of playing in one of the world’s top destination cities.”

DeFalco, Taylor Sander, Erik Shoji, and Kawika Shoji. This event serves as a platform for aspiring young athletes to follow in their footsteps.

To ensure that everyone can be a part of the excitement, USA Volleyball will live stream all courts at the BJNC in partnership with BallerTV. This will enable friends and family who are unable to attend the event in person to watch the matches on their preferred devices.
