She needs to call the Midnight Sun Organization, for highschool players, but I
think that it's tryouts only and it's VERY competitive.  Other wise - call
Anchorage

I'm moving to Fairbanks in early Feb 05.  Loooking for places to play
and leagues to get into.  If anyone knows where or who I should
contact email me some information. Thanks.

The Games of the XXVIII Olympiad in Athens, Greece have begun!
NBC will feature the Opening Ceremony on Friday, Aug. 13, at 8 p.m. ET/PT

The television broadcasts of the Summer Games will consist of 1,210 hours
of coverage -- nearly three-times the 441.5 hours from Sydney in 2000
and more than seven-times the 171.5 hours from Atlanta in 1996

So... when might you be able to watch some VOLLEYBALL ?

It will take some searching...
With searching you will find that - USA Men vs. Italy is scheduled to run
at 12:30 in the morning.   Which day?  Which channel?

You can use the handy guide provided at:

Does anyone know of a league or open night play anywhere in the
North Pole area?  I hate to drive to Fairbanks unless I have too,
especially in the wintertime. 

Or is anyone else interested in playing out in North Pole?  Maybe we
could approach one of the schools out here if we have enough people
interested.

Thanks!

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.

Cristie:

For adult play, you may want to check with the usavolleyball.org website and
click on "Regional" then on the state where you would like to
play/live...then call the regional office and see what is happening in your
area...

If you can't get that info, email back to Volleyball Mania at
coachtvbm@... and I will get you a direct address in Alaska...not sure
what city the regional office is in, but they probably have all the info you
will need.

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.
