The 2010 U.S. Women's National A2 program is scheduled to train May 24-28 in Tempe, Ariz., before being split into two 12-player rosters to compete in the Open Division of the 2010 USA Open National Championships held in nearby Phoenix. The Open Division flight takes place May 29-June 1 at the Phoenix Convention Center.
“I was very happy with the level of the tryout held in February and, as a result, we expect that this year's A2 teams will be very strong in training and in competition at the USA Open National Championships,” U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon said. “The future continues to look bright for the U.S. Women's National Team with the talent coming up through the pipeline.”
The 2010 U.S. Women's National A2 Team includes four setters, 10 outside/opposite hitters, six middles and four liberos. The 24 players come from 18 different collegiate programs.
