The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association will continue to host its postseason volleyball championship at St. Joseph’s Civic Arena through the 2027 season.
The MIAA and the St. Joseph Sports Commission will host the 2025, 2026, and 2027 postseason volleyball championship tournaments at Civic Arena in St. Joseph. The venue has been the new home of the MIAA volleyball championship since it first hosted the event in 2022.
"We are thrilled to keep this tournament in St. Joseph, Missouri, through 2027,” said MIAA Deputy Commissioner Amber Feldman in a news release from the conference. “This community has done a great job of hosting us over the last three years, and that effort hasn't gone unnoticed. From the playing court to the police escorts, they have provided the extra touches that have enhanced the experiences of our student-athletes."
“We are grateful to the MIAA's coaches, administrators and the conference office leadership for having confidence in us and allowing the opportunity to host the MIAA Volleyball Championship for another three years!” stated Brett Esely, Director of the St. Joseph Sports Commissioner. "St. Joseph and Civic Arena are a great place to host championships, and we look forward to partnering with our MIAA colleagues in delivering a championship experience for years to come!”
The MIAA's top eight teams from the regular season advance to the postseason tournament. For the 2025 MIAA Volleyball Championship this fall, quarterfinal matches will be played on Thursday, November 20, with semifinal matches taking place on Friday, November 21, and the championship match scheduled for Saturday, November 22.
