With the start of the club season just around the corner, we've pieced together a presumptive, preseason ranking for the teams we expect to produce prime performances over the span of the 16s season.

A quick reminder, we are releasing these rankings prior to any major events, and based on rankings from mid-2021, taking into account post-ranking event finishes, including USAV and AAU National Championship tournaments, and notable departures and arrivals of PVB ranked athletes. For now, let's celebrate the soon-arriving club season action, and be sure to keep an eye out for Inside the Power 30 for a deeper dive into the rankings, when qualifying play begins.

Also, coaches and clubs that wish to be considered for the rankings may fill out this information form, if you have not done so already.

Remember, this is just a preseason ranking, a chance to create a little excitement, fun, and speculation. When qualifiers begin, things will likely look much different, and we will be expanding to 50 teams in the rankings.
