David Jones, boys volleyball coach at La Jolla High and coach of the Vikings' boys sand volleyball team, has a hope that sand volleyball will be sanctioned as an official CIF sport in the near future.
"Our hope is within the next couple of years" the sport would receive official status, said Jones, also a classroom teacher on campus at La Jolla High.
"It helps that on the women's side, (the) NCAA has made it an official sport and is is already offering scholarships for sand volleyball. Hopefully, that will help expedite the process on the girls' side, and if our boys program parallels the girls', our hope is that both will get CIF sanction simultaneously. Arizona already sanctioned it as a high school boys and girls sport two years ago."
