Labor Day Classic
Many of the nation's top NAIA volleyball programs converge on Omaha Friday and Saturday for the 2025 College of Saint Mary/MH Hospitality Labor Day Classic! CSM is proud to host one of the nation's premier NAIA tournaments. Among our 22 entries, 12 were national qualifiers last season.
The field includes seven of the top 10 teams in the 2025 NAIA national preseason poll (No. 1 Indiana Wesleyan, No. 2 Bellevue, No. 4 Concordia, No. 5 Eastern Oregon, No. 7 Northwestern, No. 8 IU Kokomo and No. 10 Providence), 10 of the top 20 (No. 16 Viterbo, No. 18 College of Idaho and No. 20 Midland) and 12 of the top 25 (No. 23 The Master's and No. 24 William Carey), along with three others who received votes (Morningside, Benedictine and Dakota Wesleyan).
We are excited to host 12 top-25 matchups during the two days of action, including five meetings of top-10 teams.
"It is an honor to host this tournament and be able to match up some of the nation's top NAIA teams from different sections of the country,'' Tournament Director and CSM Volleyball Coach Rick Pruett said. "Fans should expect two great days of competition.''
An Event Pass to access the entire event online is $39 and can be accessed at BallerTV.
