For SFA, and others with traditional volleyball, the scholarship limit for beach is six. It is not a headcount sport, so there can be more than six women with partials. Traditional women's volleyball limit is twelve, and it is a headcount sport.

I guess there will be some that play both? There are currently 18 on the indoor roster. I know of three beach signees.

I read somewhere a while back that one or two of the indoor players will get some sand between their toes, too.

Filling out the roster. I learned recently that indoor VB players can play beach, but beach players can not play indoor. Probably this first season, at least, some of the indoor girls will play beach.

So, how many total players can they have?

Indoor is a head count sport with a limit of 12 scholarships. Typically, they are carrying 16-18 on the roster meaning any over 12 are not on scholarship. Ladyjacks have 17 on the roster this season.

Beach is an equivalency sport with a limit of 6 scholarships. It looks like most teams are carrying 10-12, so all of them will have some amount of scholarship.

Yet another example of the quality of the SFA coaching staff.

The picture on the right is of a couple of the beach volleyball girls at the volleyball match. We walked over to the beach courts after volleyball. They are putting in the sand, with some more to do. Getting close.

Cool aerial that shows the new beach volleyball courts.

This is an awesome opportunity. That's gonna pay dividends.

Now how do we get Keller for the basketball U19?

There are some never-heard-of schools on their schedule this season - Cedar Valley, Ottawa-Kansas, Missouri Baptist, Colorado Mesa, Cabrillo College, West Valley College.

Guess we can't expect them to start off playing the likes of UCLA, USC, Florida State, and Hawaii.

Ladyjacks move to 3-0 after a 4-1 win over Missouri Baptist. Our final match of the tournament will be against host A&M Kingsville at 12:30.

Noticed that Corin Evans, Maddie Miller, and Margaret Dean are playing with the Beach team. That partially explains their immediate success. Nice!

And, Xariah Williams. Corin and Xariah are both seniors, so beach allows them to play one more time.

Got schooled by 5-0. Three of the matches went to a third set.

Split two in Tucson yesterday, losing 5-0 to Washington, and beating Colorado Mesa 3-2.

Now 4-2, they play Arizona today to finish this road trip.

Definitely a step up in competition this week, taking on two Pac12 schools. They'll know what they need to work on after this.

It's a process. Our indoor girls are learning to play beach. One of our beach girls hasn't played yet, but I have heard she may be able to play soon.

Lost to #13 Arizona 5-0. One of the matches went three sets. The others were reasonably competitive.

Head to California in a week for six matches spread over five sites.

Results from a match yesterday. Don't bother looking on the SFA site, because all you will find is the score.

Every one of the matchups was competitive against a very good, experienced team. That's very encouraging.

Disappointing that I have to go to an opponent's site to get this information. Nothing but a score on the SFA site. Nothing on social media that I have found.
