Question

How do they choose the all-tournament team at the JO Nationals for volleyball?

Answer 1

There is an all-tournament committee that selects individual players.

Basically, the committee makes selections with input from coaches, college scouts, and referees.

Players are honored for…

- court leadership

- demonstration of good sportsmanship

- general attitude and conduct both on and off the court

- basic skills and all-around ability

Those selected shall come primarily from “Gold Flight” teams.

The MVP may or may not be selected from the first place team.

All-Tournament and Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards will be given in divisions: 18, 17, 16, 15, Open, National and American divisions.

Fourteen players in each division will be named to the All-Tournament Team. In addition, a MVP will be awarded. Team selection is made without regard to player position.

Any player who has received behavioral sanctions from a referee, the Event Arbitrator or other USA Volleyball authorities during the current JOVC event WILL NOT be considered for All-Tournament Team selection.

Answer 2

Dennis has a great answer.  Although they can get input from the referees, they usually do not.  They have a committee that wanders around and watches matches.  (I have not been to JO's in a while.  At Adult nationals, they have an All Star ballot that they pass around in the later Gold division matches.  The ballot asks for up to 3 from the other team and your team.  I assume that it is the same at JO's.)

Answer 3

gud in playing and has wisdom..

Answer 4

Dennis is almost right.    Except for askinng the referees.  As a referee, the last thing I wish to get involved is to weigh in on this issue.   It is one thing to weigh in on good sportsmanship, but for all tournament and mvp matter, it is better to leave them to the coaches and other event people.
