CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION OF IIAAA VOLLEYBALL PROPOSAL
The Executive Committee discussed the merits of the
IIAAA proposal regarding varsity volleyball format:
1. Change the
scoring of regular season volleyball matches to the best 2 out of 3, play all
three games to 25 points, must win by 2 (no cap); junior varsity and freshmen
matches best 2 out of 3 to 21 points, must win by 2 (no cap).
2. Eliminate the 2 minute serving time during
warm up of the varsity match.

an alternative proposal that would mandate a three out of five format with no cap
at the varsity level, but reduce the junior varsity and freshman level to the
best two out of three to 25, with the third game played to 15 with a cap of 25
and 15 respectively. The two minute
serving time warm up would also be eliminated at all levels including
varsity.
