Out-of-state Qualifier Tournament

Each club team, from 12U through 17/18U, will play in one (1) out-of-state Qualifier Tournament. Qualifier tournaments are 3 days in duration and held at various states and venues. In the past, we have attended the Nike Mideast Qualifier. It has not been determined which tournament we will attend. The 2023 Nike Mideast Qualifier dates are:

  • 16U, 17/18U Nike Mideast Qualifier on March 16-18, 2023 in Indianapolis, IN
  • 13U, 14U Nike Mideast Qualifier on March 24-26, 2023 in St Louis, MO
  • 12U, 15U Nike Mideast Qualifier on March 31 - April 2, 2023 in St Louis, MO 

The Qualifier tournament allows the team to compete for a bid to the National Volleyball Championships.

 

The Qualifier participation fee is covered in your Club dues. The Qualifier tournament opportunity allows the girls to play in a large setting (convention center) against teams from all over the Midwest. It is a great experience for the girls to show off their talent and see talent from several states.

 

Participation in Qualifier Tournament is encouraged. The team will only attend the Qualifier if at least 8 players from the team commit to attend.  The team will stay at one hotel as a group usually within walking distance from the convention center. Players must stay with their parents. It is each family’s responsibility to provide transportation to/from the destination, lodging fees (3-nights) and all personal costs.
