Welcome to another year of “The List,” the weekly girls volleyball rankings published by CIF State. The List, a top 25 ranking of the best teams in California; plus three regional top 25 rankings, are compiled by longtime national volleyball expert John Tawa, with help from a panel of varsity head coaches from across the state. You’ll find them in this spot every Thursday.

Note that the records listed are current, based on the best available information. Single-set “matches” will neither be included nor considered.

Any varsity head coaches with questions about how The List was derived may contact Tawa at jtawa@cifstate.org.

Varsity head coaches also are invited to opt in to the CIF State’s mailing list at this link: http://eepurl.com/hG-qTz.

We also request varsity coaches, who have not yet done so, to complete the CIF’s preseason form at this link: https://johntawa.wufoo.com/forms/k1js7kyl02g8co4/
