The Ripples that come with the Michigan Sports Season Change

Been to a HS volleyball game this year? The seasons have changed and ripple effects are starting to unfold.

Here is a summary on what happened. Remember ... I am a blogger and not a lawyer, so some of my terms may be off, but I think it is fairly accurate.

After review of evidence presented in the original court case, the judge ruled that it was a disadvantage for a sport to be played out of season compared to the traditional season of the sport. (ie .. Volleyball in Michigan was in winter and throughout the US it was in the fall)

Going by documents introduced in the case, the seasons were originally aligned many years ago to accomodate boys sports. As a result of this alignment, there were 6 girls sports playing out of season, while no boys sports were being played out of season. In other words, girls were the only ones playing in disadvantaged seasons.

That disparity was finally ruled (after appeals) a Title IX violation.

The Michigan High School Athletic Association tried to argue that they did not fall under Title IX because they were a private company, but the ruling stated that they acted as a government agency because they served the schools.

.. and whala - we are have VolleyBall in the fall.

...and whala - we have AAU and USAV Volleyball tryouts in the fall too. I guess that we always did ..but the off-season will start ALOT earlier and the girls will be able to attend alot more volleyball tournaments this year.

Here are a few tryouts that I know of:

Huron Valley Volleball (Ann Arbor area) will hold national team tryouts on Oct 14 and regional team tryouts Oct 21 for U15/16/17/18. An information meeting will be held on Oct 7. Multi-sport athletes are welcome.
