Summer is on it's way and we have many sand tournaments planned for
the Growden courts this summer in Fairbanks.

We're out there playing every  Wednesday night from 7pm - ???
Friday Night from 7pm - ???  and  Sunday from noon - ???

I will try to get a tournament schedule out soon for those who might
be interested.

We usually have 4-6 summer tournaments.

We have coed doubles and tripples, and Men's and Women's Doubles.
and a king of the beach tournamnt at some time.

We hold a Midnight Sun All Nighter on the weekend closest to the
solstace.  The tournament usually starts at 10pm.

All are welcome.  We sometimes split into two levels depeding on the
skill levels of the teams.

There is also going to be a girls beach league targeted at
high school girls.

And....of course the famous Flex Mosuito doubles tournament which is
often called the Alaskan Beach Championships is usually held the last
week in July.



Our first almost-outdoor tournament of the season is the Spring
Smash.
It's an indoors tripples tournament held at UAF in early May.
For more  info on the Spring Smash you can contact
Kevin Raap at fnkmr@...

If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch with me.
There are teams that drive up from Anchorage  so I might be able to
connect you with teams planning to travel up for events this summer.

If you live in Anchorage you should know that Fairbanks is usually
sunny and warmer than Anchorage during June and July.

Rally Scoring Approved for High School Volleyball

http://www.nfhs.org/press/volleyball_rules_changes03.html

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (January 30, 2003) — Following more than five years of
discussion, the NFHS Volleyball Rules Committee approved the rally scoring
format for high school volleyball at its January 19-20 committee meeting in
Indianapolis. Responsibility to decide when to implement the rally scoring
rules rests with the individual state associations (states may elect to use
rally scoring in 2003-04), but they must apply the rally scoring format no
later than the 2004-05 school year. In rally scoring, points are awarded on
each play, regardless which team serves, as opposed to the traditional
sideout system.

“In order to make the decision, we surveyed all state associations, gained
feedback from states that experimented with rally scoring during the past
year and gathered results from a Nebraska survey that reported on current
play/playoff formats,” said Cynthia Doyle, NFHS assistant director and
liaison to the Volleyball Rules Committee.

Before voting, committee members also discussed many factors that could be
affected by rally scoring. Some issues included: training of officials,
length of game, team travel time, fiscal considerations and game pace.

“It is felt that one of the positives in the introduction of rally scoring
is it will generate more spectator interest,” said Sheryl Solberg, chair of
the Volleyball Rules Committee and assistant to the executive secretary of
the North Dakota High School Activities Association. “This can only be a
positive for our young athletes to know they are involved in an even more
exciting sport where people attend and appreciate the athleticism and
competitiveness of the players.

“Our committee worked very hard in preparation for this meeting by making
every effort to contact the state associations in their section for feedback
on the rally scoring issue.”

After one year of experimenting with rally scoring rules, states now have a
set format by which to abide:

•     All matches shall be best three-of-five games.

•     Games shall be played to 25 points (no cap), and the fifth and
deciding game shall be played to 15 points (no cap).

•     The let serve shall be allowed, and play shall continue provided net
contact is entirely within the net antennas.

•     Each team shall be allowed two time-outs per game, with a total of 10
time-outs if five games are played.

“The players want a faster-paced game, and rally scoring does that,” Doyle
said. Doyle said that the issues of games per match and scoring caps on
games will be reviewed by the committee at the end of the 2003-04 season.

Along with rally scoring, the Volleyball Rules Committee also approved
several other rules changes, including Rule 9-4-8b, which addresses multiple
contacts by one player. The new rule states that multiple contacts are
permitted only “on any first team hit, whether or not the ball is touched by
the block,” and it deletes the line that states, “provided there is no
finger action.” The wording of this rule was changed because it allowed for
multiple interpretations and inconsistent application, according to Doyle.

Rule 9-5-4 also underwent revisions. It adds that if the flight of the ball
is toward the opponent’s court and not toward a teammate and is legally
touched by an opponent above the net, the action is a back-row player foul.
If the ball is hit back in to a back-row player, it is ruled as the team’s
first foul.

“These additions remove the need for officials to judge the intent of the
back-row player by judging the direction of the ball hit,” Doyle said.

Three changes were made to Rule 1-4 regarding the pre-match conference and
coin toss. In order to encourage good sportsmanship, the home team should
select its team bench upon entering the facility, and the visiting captain
should call the coin toss. If necessary, prior to the deciding game of a
match, the home captain should call the toss. Predetermining who calls the
toss should keep the flow and order of all matches consistent, according to
Doyle.

Rule9-3-3 divided one subheading into two in order to clarify when the ball
is dead. Rule9-3-3l now states that a live ball becomes dead when an
official’s whistle sounds, and Rule9-3-3m dictates that a live ball becomes
dead when a timer’s audio signal interrupts play.

Revisions were also made to Rule11-2-4 regarding administration of
consistent time-outs. A time-out can last for a maximum of 60 seconds, but
play can recommence if both teams are ready for play prior to the end of the
60 seconds.

To create a more consistent order between officials and players, Rule
10-2-6b was rewritten to state that it is improper when a substitute enters
or a player leaves the court before the umpire directs them to do so with a
sweeping open-palm hand gesture.

The uniform rule, Rule 4, underwent several changes as well. Players cannot
wear jewelry during pre-match warm-up or competition, and they must wear
uniforms as the manufacturers intended. Additionally, the number on the
front of the uniform should be centered no more than two inches below the
neckline opening or no more than two inches below the bottom edge of the
neckline ribbing on the uniform top.

A final change in Rule 12-2-7f states that unsportsmanlike conduct includes
disrespectfully addressing, baiting or taunting anyone involved in the
contest, not only the opponent.

“Although rare, coaches, for example, have been known to disrespectfully
address their own players,” Doyle said. “[This is now] an offense that can
be penalized.”

Volleyball remains an increasingly popular high school sport with both girls
and boys. Within the 14,083 schools that have girls volleyball teams are
395,124 female participants, while 40,567 boys play on 1,804 teams,
according to the 2001-02 High School Athletics Participation Survey
conducted by the NFHS.

Hello;

I am looking for assistance with a program that offers great exposure
to sponsors.  Bob Holmes, www.beatbob.com the one man volleyball
team, is the only man who single-handedly takes on entire pro ball
teams and wins.
Bob has played and beaten the Miami Dolphins, the Pittsburgh
Steelers,
the Washington Redskins, the Buffalo Bills, Penn State, the Baltimore
Orioles with Cal Ripkin and Jim Palmer, and many others all by
himself.
He has faced more than 200,000 opposing
players in front of more than two million people.  He has won more
than 14,100 games.  He has appeared on Family Channel,
CBS This Morning, Ripley's Believe It or Not, and has been featured
in
countless newspaper articles including USA Today.

Bob plays the entire court all by himself and has no special rules.
This really gets the attention of the students at school assemblies.
They are entertained and given a great message on "Beating the Odds."

Please see his website for more information.
There is also a video that can be viewed from there to see him play.

If you would like more information please contact me.

Thank you for any and all interest or assistance.
Sincerely,
Denise Marhoefer

OOPS...I thought I was reading Washington State...ignore half of what I said;
you should mention what type of tourney...however, those folks are Washington
State tourney folks for the spring and summer...if you guys want to come
down, come on down....great tourneys here!

Sorry, I guess I still am sleeping...however, the camp info still applies...I
gear it towards elite camps for DI bound players as well as local for
Washington state kids...sorry...

Coach 'T'

PS:  You need to get into contact with Virgil Hooe in Anchorage, I believe,
who can help with contacting other players...good luck!

Scott:

Congratulations!  It is wonderful to see other folks, presumably younger, who
are stepping up to do some of the work that us old folks know about but have
no more time or energy to pursue...great job!

Some things I would recommend you add is that you should mention whether it
is a mixed six (co-ed) or a womens only or mens only and I would presume they
are adult tourneys...would you be interested in keeping track of junior
tourneys???

Just kidding...good job.

Since summer is coming on quicker than we like, you may need to separate out
grass from sand from indoor...

Good luck, and if you need further assistance, I am sure that Bob Stewart,
the webmaster at USA Volleyball, Puget Sound Region and others, like John
Littleman, Tony Miranda and Dave Dempski would be more than happy to help you
along...

I would like to help if needed...I have had to cut out alot now due to
medical and health reasons so I am not in the loop so much, but iif you need
anything, do let me know...if you can spread the word that summer camp info
will be available in late April, I would appreciate it...they just need to
contact me at coachtvbm@... to find out how to get a Comprehensive List
($3 to $5, depending) from me...I am also trying to locate adult camps and
classes...

Again, great job and good luck...Coach 'T'
