Participating teams

A maximum of 8 national teams could qualify for the tournament as follows: the host nation and the top 7 teams according to the NORCECA U19 Continental Ranking as of 1 January 2023 (as reference, considering that there was no U17 ranking) that confirmed their participation. [2]

Squads

Each national team had to register a squad of 12 players. Players born on 1 January 2008 and onwards were eligible to compete in the tournament. [2]

Competition format

In the NORCECA Volleyball Championships the competition format depends on the number of participating teams. With 8 teams, two pools of four teams each were formed. The pool standing procedure were as follows: [2]

  1. Number of matches won;
  2. Match points;
    • Match won 3–0: 5 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser
    • Match won 3–1: 4 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser
    • Match won 3–2: 3 match points for the winner, 2 match points for the loser
  3. Points ratio;
  4. Sets ratio;
  5. If the tie continues between two teams: result of the last match between the tied teams;
  6. If the tie continues between three or more teams: a new classification would be made taking into consideration only the matches between involved teams.

The winners of each pool advanced directly to the semi-finals, while the runners-up and the third placed teams advanced to the quarter-finals.

Groups composition

Teams were distributed into two groups of four teams. As hosts, Honduras had the right to choose the group in which to be placed and were assigned to the head of its group (Group A). The remaining teams were distributed into the groups according to their position in the NORCECA U19 Continental Ranking as of 1 January 2023 (as reference, considering that there was no U17 ranking) and following the serpentine system, starting with the highest-ranked team as head of the remaining group (Group B) [2]
