Tickets have gone on sale for the WVSSAC State Volleyball Championships, which will take place Nov. 11–13 at the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center. The event is scheduled to run three sessions each on Nov. 11 and 12, with session start times at 8:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 6:30 p.m., and a single final session at 9:00 a.m. on Nov. 13. The venue has published parking and bag policies and provides links for individual-session Ticketmaster sales.

The championships will determine state titles across classifications and will draw teams, families and supporters to Charleston over the three-day period. For McDowell County, which follows several Class A volleyball programs, the tournament represents an opportunity for community visibility around student-athletes and for local fans to rally behind teams advancing through sectional and regional play. Brackets and matchups will be posted and updated on the WVSSAC site as they are finalized, allowing supporters to plan which sessions to attend once local qualifiers are confirmed.

Practical considerations for McDowell County residents include transportation, parking and event entry rules. The Coliseum’s published parking guidance and bag policy are intended to streamline entry and security for the high-volume event; attendees should review those policies and purchase individual-session tickets through the Ticketmaster links to ensure they have the proper access for the sessions they intend to attend. Staggered session start times may help fans attend multiple matches in a day, but they also require careful coordination for travel and time away from work or school.

Beyond the immediate logistics, the championships carry modest economic implications for the region. Large high-school events tend to concentrate spending on fuel, meals, and overnight lodging for traveling families and supporters. For McDowell County businesses and booster groups that coordinate travel, the tournament’s timing offers a chance to capitalize on visitor spending and to strengthen networks that support high-school athletics.

For student-athletes, advancing to the state tournament can deliver valuable exposure and a high-profile competitive experience. For coaches and school athletic departments, it represents both an achievement and a planning challenge—managing travel approvals, funding for transportation and accommodations, and balancing postseason schedules with academic obligations.

Fans interested in attending should monitor the WVSSAC website for bracket updates and confirm session tickets through the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center’s Ticketmaster links. Reviewing the venue’s parking and bag policy in advance will help ensure a smoother trip to the state finals.
