The Rally Challenge is a great way to kick your club season into gear! Entering its 6th year, this event has grown each year and is a great 2-day event to experience with over 150 other teams. We were delighted to have anchor clubs such as NASA and 575 Volleyball committed and as part of our alliance program.

We are excited this event will again be an AAU Grand Prix. This will allow your club team to earn a paid invite to AAU Nationals in Orlando. Depending on the number of teams in the division, you can earn anywhere from 30% to 100% of your teams entry to Nationals. Full details are on AAU’s website. This year this Rally Challenge is also part of the JVA Challenge Series. Find out more about the JVA Challenge Series.
