The U.S. Boys U19 National Team is gearing up for a massive 2025. 28 players are set to hit the National Team Training Center in Anaheim, California, from June 1-7. From this squad, only the elite will rise. Twelve will head to the 2025 NORCECA Boys U19 Pan American Cup, while another twelve will aim for glory at the 2025 FIVB Boys U19 World Championship.
A Powerhouse in the Making
Let's be real, Team USA is not here to participate—they're here to win. This team’s got momentum. They snagged gold at the 2024 NORCECA Continental Championship and dominated the Pan American Cup in 2022 and 2023. With a fourth-place finish at the last World Championship, they’re hungry for more.
Veterans Lead the Charge
Names like Layton Bluth, Thomas Demps IV, and Noah Meabon are back in the mix. These guys know what’s at stake. They’ve been here before, and they’re ready to lead. Myles Jordan and Dante Cayaban add to the firepower, making this team a nightmare for the opposition.
Coaches with a Winning Formula
Charlie Sullivan, head coach from Springfield College, will steer the ship at the World Championship. His track record? Impressive. Meanwhile, Jonah Carson from Mountain View Volleyball Club will guide the Pan Am team. Sullivan says, “The athletes have prepared themselves well, and the best thing about working with this group so far has been their phenomenal attitudes. Excited to see where that takes us!”
Eyes on the Prizes
The Pan American Cup team will train in Leesburg, Florida, before battling in Mexico from July 7-13. The World Championship squad will polish their skills in Colorado Springs and Madrid, Spain, before the big stage in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, from July 24-August 3.
USA Volleyball is setting the bar high. Will they rise to the occasion? You could feel it coming. This squad is no joke.
That'll do it.
