Three Huskers Named to the Volleyball U20 National Training Team

USA Volleyball announced 20 players who have been named to the 2021 Women’s Indoor U20 National Training Team on Thursday, and incoming Nebraska volleyball freshmen Ally Batenhorst, Lindsay Krause and Lexi Rodriguez were selected to the team.

This playing opportunity will broaden experience and give players a chance to learn higher level technical aspects of the game that they may not have experienced yet. Just as the Olympic roster was paired down before competition, this one will too.

The U20 National Training Team will produce the 12-player roster that will compete in the 2021 FIVB Women’s U20 World Championship that will be held July 9-18 in Rotterdam, Netherlands and Kortrijk, Belgium. All members of the U20 National Training Team will participate in a training camp held June 28-July 8 at UNLV in Las Vegas, Nevada, before the team is selected and travels to the competition site.
