The contingent to represent St Lucia at the Junior Female Championship will be announced at a later date.

Volleyball is in full swing in St Lucia as junior and senior in both male and female divisions in both formats of the sport (beach and indoor teams), have been preparing and competing in regional and international competitions in 2013.
