However, the highlight of the tournament will be the new format that has been introduced to the games of U13 age group. As the competitors are at a very young age, the games of U13 age group are less competitive in contrast with the other age groups. Hence, a new system is introduced to the U13 age group.
As per the new system, when the scores of both teams complete an addition of 05 points, the existing players must leave the field making way for a new set of players. This will continue until the end of a set with every addition of 05 points that both teams score. The points needed to win a set is 21.
The tournament is organized by the Sri Lanka Schools’ Volleyball Association, in coalition with the Sri Lanka Volleyball Association, while D. Samson and Sons (Pvt) Ltd (DSI) sponsors the tournament this year as well.
The finals of the tournament will be held from the 01st to 03rd of September at the National Youth Services Council Indoor Stadium, Maharagama.
