We have selected a team to go to Europe to participate in the Global Challenge in Pula, Croatia to represent the United States and more importantly Austin Junior Volleyball. We will be in Europe for two weeks. Check here daily to see how our adventure unravels.

Follow our AJV team through Europe on their experiences with sightseeing and competition on this dedicated page. The players and coaches will be posting their reports each day. Check back often to see the latest.
