ORLANDO, Fla.—The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) is set to host the annual AAU Junior Volleyball National Championships from June 13 to July 7, 2025, at Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center (OCCC).
Over the course of 24 days, the tournament will showcase athletes and coaches traveling from every corner of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands to represent their team at the 52nd AAU Girls’ and Boys’ Junior National Volleyball Championships.
Based on 325,500 estimated attendees, the event is expected to bring approximately $825.5 million in economic impact to Central Florida this year.
Last year’s event holds the Guinness World Record mark for the largest volleyball event in the world since 2012. This year’s event is set to break these records. A total of 6,515 teams (5,063 girls and 1,452 boys) will make their way to Orlando to compete, including more than 390 Central Florida teams.
“Our continued partnership with AAU is testament to the success and record-breaking growth of this international youth sporting event,” says OCCC executive director Mark Tester. “As the largest annual event at the Center, we are honored to host this dynamic tournament and look forward to welcoming athletes and guests from around the world. AAU’s ongoing trust and confidence in our facility allows us to showcase our world-class venue and best-in-class service.”
The girls’ tournament will be held from June 13 to June 28, with divisions from 10U to 18U. The boys’ tournament begins shortly after, from June 30 to July 7, with divisions from 12U to 18U.
