2012 Presidents' Cup Tournament
The Dayton Juniors Volleyball Club would like to thank the 436 teams (85 different clubs) from Ohio and surrounding states and Canada who participated in this year's event. We would also like to recognize the behind the scenes efforts of our Presidents' Cup Committee, event staff, club parents, referees, and the Ohio Valley Region for their superb support. The National, American and Regional Divisions were all highly competitive and the fans and college coaches were treated to some outstanding volleyball. Results for all Divisions may be found on the OVR Website. The 15-18 National Division results can also be found on AES. A list of the attending college coaches who signed in at the main desk is located at the Presidents' Cup tab above. Best wishes for the remainder of the season and we hope to see you back at the 2013 Presidents' Cup!
