The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union State Volleyball Tournament kicks off on Tuesday from the Xtream Arena in Coralville, Iowa.

Matches will be streamed live on the IGHSAU website and YouTube channel, with complete coverage of the entire tournament provided on High School On SI Iowa.

Three defending champions are back from a year ago, led by Waukee Northwest in Class 5A. The Wolves are the top seed, as they have held the No. 1 ranking all season.

Davenport Assumption, the Class 3A state champions a year ago, have moved up to Class 4A and will be looking to secure another title.

In Class 2A, Denver, the 2025 state champion, is the No. 6 seed and will try to come out of the bottom of the bracket to reign supreme once more.
