Mailbag: Support Sand Volleyball

Hello Friends and Beach Volleyball Enthusiasts,

Many of you have contacted USA Volleyball with questions as to the status of sand volleyball in the NCAA.  On January 15, 2010 there will be an override vote led by universities who are trying to block the addition of sand to the NCAA emerging sports list for women in 2010-2011.  We need your voice to help block this override vote!

Please take a quick moment to click on the link below to voice your support of NCAA sand volleyball!  (Below is the text of the petition.)

SUPPORT SAND VOLLEYBALL IN DIVISION I

“We, the undersigned, feel passionately that Sand Volleyball should be added to the NCAA emerging sports list for women in 2010-2011. We urge you to support the exciting and numerous opportunities for women that this sport creates. To make sand volleyball a reality for Division I, we respectfully request that each institution send a representative to the 2010 NCAA Convention in Atlanta, Georgia and vote on January 15 to defeat the override. We will watch this vote very carefully. Please support Sand Volleyball for the athletes, coaches, parents, administrators, fans, vendors and many more that will be positively affected by the addition of the sport. If you would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact the AVCA at members@avca.org or visit the AVCA Facebook page.”

So, if you’re a fan of Beach Volleyball and want to see it a NCAA sport, now is your time to have your voice heard!
