Why EYVL?
DOMESTIC COMPETITION BUILDS THE FOUNDATION.
INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION EXPANDS THE POTENTIAL.
National competitions are the core of youth volleyball development. Yet competitive depth naturally varies between countries, regions and age categories. EYVL complements the domestic calendar by creating access to carefully selected international competition.
The objective is not to replace domestic competition. It is to expand what young athletes can experience.
The Invitational Series
DIFFERENT CITIES.
DIFFERENT OPPONENTS.
ONE INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
