2020 AVCA/USA TODAY high school volleyball regional rankings for Week 1

Here are the Week 1 regional volleyball rankings via the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

Due to COVID-19, many states are moving the start dates of their season, or in some cases will be competing in Spring 2021. Teams who are competing in the Fall 2020-21 season as of Aug. 14 will be eligible for inclusion in the preseason poll. That includes teams with delayed start dates, through October. Options for recognition of teams competing in Spring 2021 will be decided at a later date.
