Answer 1

As a high school boys coach who is frustrated at the lack of schools willing to recognize boys volleyball, I sympathize with you. Many schools would have enough boys interested if they actually did start a program. For the first couple of years it might be an easy way for many to get a varsity letter, but they will be able to field a team. It only takes 6-10 guys.

I suggest starting a co-ed intramural league with your P.E. teachers. Many girls are good, but not good enough to make the girl's high school team, and you could find a couple of guys to fill out the teams and have some fun after school. After a few weeks, it may be possible to get the guys together and ask them if they want to start a varsity team. If you have at least 8, I would go to the athletic director and ask them about starting up a program for boys based on the turnout of the intramurals. The hard part is finding coaches willing to have a poor record at first in order to build the program. You may get a young coach who played very recently, but that's not a bad thing.

Have parents (Booster Club) get together and raise money for the team budget so the budget will ease the administrations concerns. (Almost all schools are being hurt by the economy right now and are trying to make cuts everywhere.) This will definitely help your cause.

I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 2

i think, you should first create your own club (boys volleyball team) in your school... then you could ask your principal or teacher in PE if your school can have a boys volleyball team.. of course your team should impress the teacher/principal that you are good enough to play outside your school and join some tournaments...

if they dont want.. and still your determined to join or have a boys volleyball team, my suggestion is you transfer to another school...üö

Answer 3

i think you shouldnt give a damnn about what s*x u are... here are the points

-make your coach proud

-win

-have a great living

Answer 4

at our school its legal but our coach doesn't think it is fair to other teams because they can jump higher and hit harder so he would let you try out but cut you. you could always join club

Answer 5

i just think u might have an obsession with large white balls my friend

Answer 6

I dont think you would be allowed to join the girls team because then it would be considerd co-ed, and usually (sorry girls) guys are in a completley different level because of their strength. You might try to start a club and possiably get a large enough group together to be able to play. Good luck!!

Answer 7

yeah its legal. but i dont know if they'd cut you or not? you could talk to the girls coach about it. i don't really think that having a boy on the team could make your school team like beat every team. isnt that like saying oh they have a good boy on their team we cant beat him? that'd be a compliment to me because they think they cant beat your team cause your on it. i would so try out go for it! good luck. =]

Answer 8

research club teams in your area... they're way more fun and competitive. and if you're thinking about playing in college it also looks really impressive

Answer 9

I think it is legal as long as the other teams that your school team go against have a male player if not you will not be able to play

Answer 10

they would let you try out but i don';t think they would put you on the team because when you actually hit the ball of course you would have more power which isn't fair to the girls you could hit it and hurt one of them because you have more power than the average girl

but i was wondering about this too because i am a pro at volleyball and i just practice with the girls to make them better because if they can hit my stuff then there ready for anyone

Answer 11

if there is no school volleyball. Then just play club volleyball.
