The CBSE National Volleyball Tournament is an annual sporting event that is held in different cities across India.

The main aim of the competition is to provide an opportunity for the top athletes across India to show off their volleyball prowess and to create a level playing field among teams from various backgrounds.

The tournament has a long history dating back to 1999, when the tournament was first conducted by the CBSE. Thereafter, the tournament has taken place in different parts of the country, allowing students to participate in the sport of volleyball at a prestigious level and receive recognition across the region.
Teams
The CBSE National Volleyball Tournament sees teams from all over the country compete against each other. Teams are divided into two categories – boys’ and girls’ teams. Each category has a set of age requirements that must be adhered to in order to compete in the tournament. Boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 18 are eligible to participate.
Teams are further divided into types, depending on the team’s past record of performance. Some of the types of teams that qualify for the tournament include State Champions, individual sports clubs, state universities, and schools. All teams must have a coach and at least four players to compete in the tournament.
The teams also undergo a ranking system to determine the level of their advancement in the tournament. The ranking is based on various criteria such as tournament performance and individual losses or wins. The ranking system helps to separate teams with better performances and gives teams who perform well in their respective categories a higher chance of advancing in the tournament.
The qualification process for the teams is quite straightforward. All teams must fill out an application form and submit it to the organisers of the tournament. Teams that qualify then move onto the tournament to continue competing.
Competition Format
The CBSE National Volleyball Tournament follows a specific format that ensures fair competition while also giving the audience a great spectacle. The tournament consists of a group stage and a knock-out stage, the latter which culminates in the highly anticipated finals.
The group stage starts with teams from each region being divided into pools of four. Over the course of the pool stage, each team plays each other once as part of the double-round robin format, earning points for victories and ties.
At the end of the pool stage, the top teams in the pool qualify for the knock-out stage, which follows a single-elimination format. As teams advance in the knock-out stage, they get closer to the grand final.
