For more info visit: www.triplecrownvolleyball.com In 2013, Triple Crown Sports invited 25 of the top club directors into the corporate offices in Colorado to talk about what really worked and what was missing in the Elite volleyball world. After listening to these thoughtful and engaged leaders in the sport, the 2014 Triple Crown Volleyball Championships took place in Salt Lake City, UT, with 38 teams in attendance the first weekend in May. In 2015, club directors wanted the event moved to the last week of April – that proved to be a wise decision. The Triple Crown Volleyball Championships grew to 66 teams in five age groups and also drew the attention of 16 college programs. In 2016, after steady dialogue from teams that wanted to attend but had a conflict with the date, we again made a change. The Triple Crown Volleyball Pre-Season NIT is now on a date populated by most every team in the nation -- Presidents Day Weekend. By continually listening to these clubs, the event was a huge success with 150 teams and more than 200 college coaches on site. In 2017, the tournament grew yet again, bringing more than 200 teams to Salt Lake City to compete. Over 300 college coaches from across the nation attended to watch one of the most anticipated events of the year. To see a complete list of teams who competed. 2018 saw the TC NIT blossom to 436 teams in its last year at the Salt Palace Convention Center, with the event drawing masses of college coaches from every level of the sport. With the addition of college-coach camps and unsigned junior/senior workouts, the recruiting value of the event made an enormous step forward. The TC NIT also experimented with livestream broadcasts of as many as 40 courts and rolled out more hospitality areas to take the edge off for parents and families. As our event continues to grow, we remain dedicated to our mission to offer an elite event to teams across the nation. The 2019 TC NIT will be held in Kansas City, MO., with the expectation that even more highly accomplished club programs will want their opportunity to compete against the best.
