TEAM ORIGIN
USAV OPEN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Origin Volleyball Studio introduced it's first open level women's team (Team Origin) at the USA Volleyball Open National Championships in 2019 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. The USAV Open National Championships is the premier competition for adult volleyball in the United States. An average of 4,500 athletes gather on Memorial Day weekend to compete over a total of 6 days. Team Origin consists of many professional athletes, high-level beach volleyball athletes, and former division I collegiate athletes. We are very proud of how our team competed this past summer and strive to continue to aim for that gold medal. The 2020 Open National Championships will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota where Team Origin will be attending yet again. GO TEAM ORIGIN!
