Qualifiers for the 2024 NAIA Women's Beach Volleyball Invitational

[SCHEDULE | BRACKET] The eight 2024 NAIA Women's Beach Volleyball Invitational qualifiers have been announced.  Saint Katherine, the California Pacific Conference co-champion and runner up at the NAIA Western Grouping Qualifying tournament, earned an at-large bid to the national event in Greenville, Tenn.  The Firebirds, the #6 seed in the eight-team tournament, will compete in Pool B along with #2 Ottawa (Ariz.), #3 Park (Mo.), and #7 Vanguard.  USK opens against OUAZ at 7:00 am PT on Thursday, April 25, and the Firebirds take to the court again at 1:00 pm PT against Park.  They close out Pool play against Vanguard on Friday, April 26, at 8:30 am PT.

The 2024 NAIA Beach Volleyball Invitational is a three-day event. On day one, the competition will open with pool play, and all teams will advance to a single-elimination bracket following pool play. The 2024 invitational is scheduled for April 25-27.

Qualifying teams either received an automatic bid or an at-large bid to advance to the invitational. The four automatic bids were determined by conference/group tournament champions, while the unaffiliated grouping of AMC/Heart/KCAC/Sooner teams had to have a team ranked in the Top 10 for a team from that grouping to earn an automatic qualifier. The final Coaches' Top 10 Rating determined the four at-large bids that had not already qualified through their conference or unaffiliated grouping.

Five of the teams that qualified for the 2024 invitational also qualified for both the 2022 and 2023 events, including the previous invitational champions Corban (Ore.) (2022) and Vanguard (Calif.) (2023).  USK, Arizona Christian, and Ave Maria (Fla.) join the championship field for the first time.

 Webber International (Fla.) enters the invitational field with a 13-match win streak.
