2026 Mankorah Volleyball Tournament
The 11th Annual Mankorah Coed 6's Volleyball Tournament is a two-day tournament planned for Feb 21-22, 2026 in Greater Mankato, MN.
​
UPDATE:
Travis and I have absolutely loved running the tournament and all things Mankorah for the past 10 years. It has been our joy to see the growth of the event each year -- from 27 teams in one division (2015) to 96 teams and almost 600 players across nine divisions (2025). But...the time has come to pass the torch, so over the next couple of months, we will be working diligently with the new coordinators to transition all of the details that go into this event (and there are many!). We appreciate your patience as we do so.
​
Most importantly, we want to thank you all for showing up for us and supporting this event, year after year. Whether it be by playing, sorting t-shirts, helping set up nets, serving as site directors, seeding teams and setting brackets, cleaning gyms, and so much more - we absolutely could not have done any of this without you!
​
Volleyball is a special community and we're lucky to be a part of it. Mankorah is one of those events that really highlights this community and the friendships that we've all built - both on and off the courts. Although it is bittersweet to step away, we are excited that the show will go on.
​
A final thank you to you all - it truly has been the best!
Travis and Kelcey

About Mankorah
Founded in 2015, [man-kor-ah] is a two-day, coed sixes volleyball tournament established in Greater Mankato to continue a volleyball tradition originating in Decorah, Iowa. Now, after a few years here it has become one of the largest adult tournaments in the state of Minnesota. The tournament brings together adult volleyball teams from multiple states (MN, IA, WI, NE) with various levels of competition. Over two days, teams complete pool play and compete in a tournament bracket Sunday. The event has grown steadily since moving to Greater Mankato from 27 teams in 2015 to 96 teams and over 600 players in 2025.
​
Mankorah is voluntarily hosted by local Greater Mankato community members who have been a part of the southern MN volleyball community for years.
