Twenty Talented U19 Players on Roster for Girls Pan Am Cup

USA Volleyball is excited to announce the 20 athletes who have been selected for the 2023 Girls U19 NORCECA Pan American Cup Roster. These young athletes have displayed exceptional talent and dedication, earning them a coveted spot on the team that will be competing in the upcoming tournament in Ciudad de Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico.

The team will undergo intensive training from April 30 to May 6 at the Anaheim National Team Training Center in preparation for the Pan American Cup. Guiding the U19 team will be the experienced and accomplished head coach, Keegan Cook, with assistance from Krista Hendrickson and Cursty Le Roux.

This selection of athletes represents a diverse range of ages and national team experience, ensuring a bright future for USA Volleyball. Two players from the 2022 Girls U19 team that clinched victory at the Pan American Cup and secured a spot in the 2023 FIVB U19 Girls World Championship, Julia Blyashov and Izzy Starck, have earned their place once again. Additionally, two players who served as alternates in the 2022 Girls U19 team, Olivia Babcock and Alec Rothe, have been given the opportunity to showcase their skills on the court.
