Dear College Coaches: Recruiting List for the 16u GJNC

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you're looking for athletes who are ready to make an immediate impact at the next level, start with the Open Division at the USAV Girls Junior National Championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every player competing in the Open Division has Division 1 potential. That's not an exaggeration, it's a reflection of their performance, consistency, and dedication. These are the nation's top athletes, battle-tested through qualifiers, grueling practices, and elite-level matchups. Among the already-committed prospects are equally talented, hard-working teammates who have practiced just as long, battled just as hard, and deserve every bit of your attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not every great athlete will land in Division 1, and that's okay. The truth is, DII and DIII programs will find absolute gems here. Players who can elevate your roster, lead with character, and bring the kind of competitive edge that wins championships.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So if you're building a program with long-term vision and immediate expectations, this is your list. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are your difference-makers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--
