2026 NCHVC

Exciting News: Introducing the NCHVC 2025 Girls JV Division!
RETURNING for 2026 NCHVC!

NCHVC 2025 Nationals is thrilled to announce a brand-new Girls JV Division! We’ve heard your feedback and recognize the growing need for a dedicated space for developing talent that neither 16U nor 18U were fully addressing. This addition will create more balanced and competitive play for a wider range of teams.

What’s New?Β 

  • Girls JV Division- Nationals: This division is specifically designed for developing teams and will accommodate organizations seeking 16U age exemptions. This addition comes after numerous requests to offer a stand-alone JV age group/division, especially in light of recent eligibility votes that impacted several teams. We believe this new division provides a clear pathway for more teams to compete at Nationals in a division they are comfortable in.
  • Continued High School Girls Offerings: We’ll still have our popular Girls 18u and 16u divisions for teams that desire to compete against other age pure teams at Nationals!Β 

Important Girls JV Division Details:

  • No Dual Rostering for JV Players: To protect the integrity and competitive balance of the JV division, players competing on JV cannot dual roster on any other team (18u, 16u, 14u, etc.). This policy helps ensure fair play and prevents Varsity-level players from competing in the JV division. This policy also helps our gym schedule as JV games may be scheduled concurrently with other age groups.Β 
  • JV Sign Up Criteria: To sign up for the JV division, a team must meet at least ONE of the following:
    • # of Players over 16 by 8/1: No more than two players older than 16 as of August 1st of this school year.
    • Average Age: An average age of 16.00 or less for your top 7 players (starters and first player off the bench), using the same August 1st cut-off date.
    • Developmental Teams: 18u “B,” “C,” or other developmental teams from organizations with multiple 18U teams. We do ask that these developmental teams do not typically compete well against or defeat 18U teams.Β 

Division Projections: 115+ High School Girls Teams
Currently, over 115 teams are signed up for High School Girls Age Groups (18u & 16u.) Our best estimation is that the Girls JV Division field will be 16-24 teams, the Girls 16U field will be 24-32 teams, and the Girls 18U field will be 56-64 teams.Β 

Dual Rostering Policy:

  • Players may participate in multiple age groups within a program, provided they qualify for each age group.
  • Players are only permitted to play on one team per age group.
  • It is NCHC policy that teams have enough primary players to compete. Our staff will review all dual rostering requests to accommodate, but each player must know their primary team, and each team must have enough primary players to begin each game of the tournament.
  • Ultimately, each team must be prepared for conflicts that our staff cannot accommodate.
  • JV Players (Girls Volleyball Nationals) No Dual Rostering: To protect the integrity and competitive balance of Nationals JV division, players competing on a Nationals JV team cannot dual roster on any other team (18u, 16u, 14u, etc.) This policy helps ensure fair play and prevents Varsity-level players from competing in the JV division. This policy also helps our gym schedule as JV games may be scheduled concurrently with other age groups.

Girls 18u Division Update: Nationals

The Girls 18u division is still anticipated to have 3-4 divisions, with the top 24-32 teams in the top division(s) and 24-32 teams in the lower division(s)Ready to Adjust Your Nationals Registration?
