The 2021-2022 club season officially wrapped up last week with the conclusion of the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships in Indianapolis. We’ll have our final national rankings for the 14-18s age groups out next week. In the meantime, we want to reveal our 2022 Club All-Americans, starting first with the 18s division.
First off, let’s discuss what goes into compiling our All-American awards. While everything is subjective, the factors we weighed in determining the list – which features 24 First Team All-Americans plus Honorable Mentions – include individual talent, impact on the team and overall team success throughout the club season. Future potential or eventual collegiate impact have no bearing on the award. We only factored in what happened during the most recent club season. With so many talented players scattered across the nation, finalizing an award list like this has its challenges. Everyone who deserves recognition cannot be included and our awards are certainly not an end-all, be-all list. Unfortunately, even with 24 First Team All Americans plus Honorable Mentions, deserving players will be left off. Ultimately, we recognize who we felt were most deserving based on the factors discussed above.
