OVR-Kaepa® USA Juniors' Tournament Schedule 2020
Cancelled - OVR - Sports Imports Girls Junior Championships

Greater Columbus Convention Center, Columbus, OH

Tournament Cancelled

Tournament hosts are needed for both adults' and juniors' tournaments. By hosting your own tournament, you can reduce your travel and expenses. This is especially important for men's and women's teams for the 2004-2005 season because we will no longer be hosting tournaments at Kent State University.

Updated tournament packets will be published in early September; watch the Headlines for announcements.

Juniors' tournaments will again be sanctioned online, also to open in September.

Adults' tournaments are sanctioned by e-mail to Keith Burke (burke@ovr.org), OVR Men's Tournament Director, and Micki Fox (fox@ovr.org), OVR Women's Tournament Director.
