Kenya's women's under-23 volleyball team represented the country at international youth tournaments against some of the world's strongest national sides. The squad brought together young Kenyan players who had earned places through their performances in domestic volleyball. Its main international appearances came at the FIVB Women's U23 World Championships in 2013 and 2017.
Kenya participated in the first Women's U23 World Championship, which took place in Mexico in 2013. The team faced Brazil, China, Germany, Cuba and the United States during the group stage. Kenya lost all five matches, but the tournament gave its young players exposure to different international opponents. China eventually won the competition, while Kenya finished its campaign without a victory.
Four years later, Kenya returned to the world championship after qualification through the African volleyball competition. The 2017 tournament took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, with twelve national teams in the draw. Kenya faced Japan, Turkey, Brazil, Bulgaria and Cuba during another difficult group-stage campaign. The team lost all five matches and finished sixth in its pool.
Catherine Mabwi coached Kenya at the 2017 tournament, with Shyrine Jepkemboi as the team captain. The squad included Anne Lowem, Caroline Sirengo, Celestine Nafula and several other young Kenyan volleyball players. That championship used an unusual format, with sets played to 15 points instead of the standard 25. Teams needed four sets to win a match, which made the competition different from regular international volleyball. The FIVB later discontinued the U23 World Championships, with the final women's edition held in 2017.
