COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Incoming freshman opposite/outside hitter Charlotte Vinson was named among 18 athletes on the 2025 Girls USA U19 National Team, as announced by USA Volleyball on Monday (April 28) afternoon. She was one of seven pin hitters selected.
This group of players have been selected as the preliminary roster for this summer's FIVB Girls U19 World Championships in Croatia and Serbia. After the initial training block, a final group of 12 players will be picked to represent Team USA in its title defense this summer.
Vinson will be making her debut with Team USA after spending many years in the national team youth development program. The Yorktown, Indiana native has had a journey that's been well documented over the years. She overcame a life-threatening illness during her junior year of high school but has made a full recovery during her final season of club volleyball.
She will head to Colorado Springs for the first training block with the team during the first week of June. From there, a group of 12 players will be selected to head to Europe. That crop of athletes will have a second training block in the Netherlands before the U19 World Championships in July.
Vinson, the 2024 Indiana Ms. Volleyball, was a consensus top-25 recruit by both Prep Volleyball and Prep Dig. She is joined in an elite class by the likes of outside hitter Jaidyn Jager (Carlsbad, Calif.) and middle blocker Victoria Gray (Temperance, Mich). IU's entire freshman class will report to campus this summer.
Team USA is in Pool C along with Turkey, Bulgaria, Poland, Peru and Spain in the 24-team tournament this summer. It won the last iteration of the tournament in 2023 with a 3-2 win over Turkey in the final. Former IU outside hitter Mady Saris (Canada) played in the 2019 tournament in Egypt.
