2024 NAIA Women's Beach Volleyball Coaches' Top 10 Rating - No. 2 (March 6)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - OUAZ (Ariz.) remains at No. 1 in the latest edition of the 2024 NAIA Beach Volleyball Coaches' Top 10 Rating. Park (Mo.) jumped into the Top 5 while Ave Maria (Fla.) joined the Top 10 this week. 

Rating Methodology

  • The rating was rated by a panel of head coaches. There are two coaches representing each of the conferences/Continental Athletic Conference (Independents)/unaffiliated groups.
  • The Coaches' Top 10 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. A team receives 15 points for each first-place vote, 14 for second place and so on through the list.
  • The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) is removed and the team's ranking will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the teams appear on.
  • Teams that receive only one point on the ballot are not considered "receiving votes"
