Central California Zone Junior Olympics Qualification Tournament 2023
The Central California Zone has changed the structure of the JO qualification process. Changes include moving up the games to the 2nd and 3rd weekend in June and splitting the process into Youth, Older Girls, and Older Boys qualification tournaments. These changes will: 1) improve competition opportunities for our clubs, 2) make it easier for a wider range of clubs to host a qualification event, 3) align our zone with the 4 other zones in California, and 4) provide more time for our clubs to prepare for Junior Olympics which have moved progressively earlier in July.
The dates for these three tournaments this coming summer will be:
Youth (10/12/14U Boys, Girls, Mixed) 9-11 June, 2023
Older Girls (16-18U) 16-18 June, 2023
Older Boys (16-18U) 16-18 June, 2023
Note -- The first day of each event (Friday) may not be needed based on a number of entries in a given age-group division.
Details on registering for these events will be forthcoming during Spring.
