Boys NIT will feature Power Pools for the 15u–18u age divisions, with invitations extended to the nation’s top-performing teams and clubs based on national rankings, club reputation, and finishes in high-profile tournaments.The invitation process will begin shortly after the start of the new year, with the final field showcasing the deepest and most talented collection of boys volleyball teams ever assembled under the Triple Crown banner.
“Our vision is to create something that hasn’t existed at this level for boys volleyball,” said Eddie Pennington, Event Director for Triple CrownVolleyball. “We’ve spent time listening to clubs and understanding what’s needed to support the growth of the men’s game. The Boys NIT will not only highlight elite competition, but also provide a platform for exposure, community, and long-term development of the sport. We’re excited to be a part of that growth.”
By placing the event in Salt Lake City — a central hub with premier facilities and accessibility — Triple Crown ensures the Boys NIT becomes a must-attend tournament for athletes, coaches, and college recruiters alike.
