To participate in the USA Volleyball Girls’ Junior National Championships, a team must either register for the Patriot Division (all-comers) or attempt to qualify for one of the four bid-winner divisions: Open, National, USA and American. Teams must attend a national qualifier to earn Open or USA bids, while they may attend a regional qualifier to earn National or American bids. All boys bids are awarded through the national bid tournament process. Click here for more information.

For Girls 12-18s, the 2023 Badger Region Qualifier awards one National and two American bids in each age division. The number of bids awarded is determined by USA Volleyball based on number of registered teams and athletes in the Region. Some bids may be awarded through “Trickle Down” or the “Reallocation Process,” and therefore be granted after the completion of the tournament, as late as the first week of May.

Against this year: All teams are eligible for a bid to the Freedom Division, which will go to the two highest finishing teams in the G14-18s division that do not receive a National or American bid.

Continuing for 2023: The Badger Region will pre-reserve hotel rooms for teams who win and accept the National bid of each age division 11-13 in Minneapolis or 14-17s in Chicago for the Girls Junior National Championships.

Continuing in 2022: In accordance with all qualifiers: Teams are responsible for providing an officiating/work crew for matches in which they are not scheduled to play. Those work assignments can be found in the official play schedule. For planning purposes, be prepared to provide the following officials:
* Second referee (must be a rostered adult)
* Certified scorer
* Scoreboard operator
* Two line judges
