7 Seal Beach Teams qualified for Junior Nationals this year
Once again Seal Beach Volleyball Club makes another strong showing at Junior Nationals. This year we have 7 teams that qualified. Each year our strong showing is a testament to the spirit and hard work these girls put into this season, the dedication and experience of the coaching staff, and the parental support that our club consistently generates.
This will be the 39th GJNC event, and the first time it has been held in Detroit. There will be over 1,200 teams in attendance, approximately 12,000 players, and well over 25,000 spectators. There are 26 titles to be awarded before the event ends, covering five divisions and seven different age groups ranging from 11-and-under to 17-and-under.
