The MIAA Volleyball Committee is concerned that a number of boys and girls varsity volleyball teams or players continue to wear uniforms that do not comply with NCAA Rules. As a result of this they would like to inform member schools of the following:

School Year 2004-2005

    · Officials and opposing teams will be asked to issue a warning to member schools or players that are wearing uniforms that do not comply with the current NCAA Women’s Volleyball Rules during regular season contests whenever possible.

    · Schools that qualify for the boys and girls volleyball tournaments during the 2004-2005 school year will be required to wear uniforms that meet the NCAA standards during all tournament play. Failure to comply with the 2003 uniform requirements will result in the offending school forfeiting the contest.

 

School Year 2005-2006

    · Beginning with the 2005-2006 school year, all varsity volleyball players and teams will be required to meet the 2003 NCAA uniform requirements during regular season and tournament play. Failure to comply with the uniform requirements will result in the offending school forfeiting the contest.
