New England Region All-Star Championship Program
The NERVA All-Star program aims to provide junior athletes with high-level training and skill development. We offer a college-like experience where athletes learn what it is like to be an elite-level athlete!
As a New England Region All-Star athlete, they will play against other all-star teams from around the country at the USA Volleyball All-Star Championship tournament. In 2026, the All-Star Championship will be in Columbus, OH from July 23 – 26.
IMPORTANT: Players participating in this program must compete in the required amount of NERVA sanctioned events in the current season! Events can be NERVA sanctioned Convention Center or NERVA One-Day Series events (3 events for Girls and 2 for Boys).

In 2026, we will be fielding teams for the following divisions to compete at the USAV All-Star Championships in Columbus, OH…
