INDIANAPOLIS – Actyve 17-Mizuno may be the proverbial “new kid on the block” in club volleyball, but its players compete like champions.

Only five years in the making, the Santa Monica, California team has taken the national club scene by storm this season. Pushed to the max in two out if its three matches Thursday, Actyve responded with three wins to advance to Friday’s 17 USA division’s championship round in the 2019 USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships at the Indiana Convention Center.
