2024 NAIA Women's Beach Volleyball Coaches' Top 10 Rating - No. 3 (March 20)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - OUAZ (Ariz.) remains at No. 1 in the latest edition of the 2024 NAIA Beach Volleyball Coaches' Top 10 Rating. The top five teams remain the same rank as the last rating while Westcliff (Calif.) moved up from No. 8 to No. 6. 

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"
