Congratulations to Averi Carlson, Lovejoy High School Rising Senior, on being selected as one of 20 athletes named to the Women's Indoor U20 National Training Team (NTT).

"The Training Team will produce the 12-player roster that will compete in the 2021 FIVB Women’s U20 World Championship held July 9-18 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and Kortrijk, Belgium. All members of the Women’s U20 National Training Team will participate in a training camp held June 28-July 8 at UNLV in Las Vegas, Nevada, before the team is selected and travels to the competition site.
