This is the 2026 STATE CHAMPS! Volleyball Player of the Year Award powered by Michigan Elite Volleyball. This award goes to the best girl’s volleyball player in the state of Michigan.

The criteria that will be used to select the Player of the Year Award:

30% – Performance Throughout Season

20% – Level of Competition

Throughout the season, we will be updating player statistics and adding new candidates into the contest as their actual play and performance merits, with a goal of keeping the ten best players on the board. At the end of the season, we will close online voting and select our final four candidates.
