Alviar Selected to USA Menâ€s Volleyball U21 National Team

blank
PRINCETON, N.J. – Roan Alviar was named to the USA U21 Men’s National Volleyball Team roster set to train for the 2025 Pan American Cup and the FIVB Men’s U21 World Championship.

Alviar was one of just 24 athletes and one of just three liberos selected to the roster.Â

The Pan Am group will train next week, July 27th through August 2nd, at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, ahead of its departure for the Pan Am Cup Aug. 3-11, in Calgary, Canada.Â

The Worlds group will also train at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center, Aug. 7-17, before heading to Jiangmen, China, Aug. 19-Sept. 1.

Alviar, who just completed his freshman season with the Tigers, has already been a valuable resource on the court for the Orange & Black.Â

Playing 94 of Princeton’s 95 sets, Alviar was a key piece in a successful 2025 season that saw the Tigers capture the EIVA regular season title and make the EIVA tournament finals.

Alviar finished the season ranked fifth in the EIVA in digs with 160 total and 1.70 per set, leading the team. He also recorded .935 reception on the season.

For his performance, Alviar was named an All-EIVA Honorable Mention.Â

This is not Alviar’s first time on the international stage, as he was on the NORCECA U21 Continental Championship team that won gold in 2024. That gold medal qualified the USA team for this year’s World Championship. He was also on the 2023 USA Boys U19 Team.

Alviar will now look ahead to training camp this summer as he prepares for international competition and the start of his sophomore year at Princeton.
