    Breakdown Sports USA, in conjunction with Midwest Volleyball Warehouse (14050 Judicial Road, Burnsville, MN), is presenting our 2nd Annual Minnesota Elite Preseason Tournament, to be held Saturday, Aug. 6th!

    We're inviting the top eight teams from our preseason polls in each of the three classes (AAA, AA and A), as well as eight at-large teams to come up with a full 32-team tournament.  Invitees will be contacted soon and when the field is set, we'll post the teams involved right here on the website.

    Format: Pool play with pools of four (4) teams, running from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., followed by playoffs for the top three (3) teams in each pool from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.  All pool play matches will be best-of-3, with the first two games to 25 points (no cap) and the third to 15 points (no cap) if needed.
