Not officially.  What had occured though may affect Nassau in the long run.  One of the upstate sections had moved their season to the fall.  Now there will be enough sections in one season (I believe you need six) to compete for a state championship.  So basically, if Nassau would like to compete for a state title they will be forced to move to the fall.  Do not expect anything to happen until 2009.

Lets take a poll in this forum and get an idea as to how many would like to see Nassau County Boys' Volleyball in the fall.  I for one think it would be a bad idea.

i also think its a bad idea.

a lot of school districts only have one coach for both boy's and girl's volleyball.

also, why should nassau have to move to fall? why not spring? the ncaa men's volleyball is in the spring

I think you guys may have misunderstood my post.  Nassau will not be forced by any committe or something to move to the fall.  It will be a simple choice of remaining in the spring with no chance at a state title, or move to the fall with a chance for a state title.  I'm torn on whether Nassau should move, I would like both Suffolk and Nassau to play in the same season, whichever season it may be.  I find it hard to imagine Nassau staying in the spring and passing on the chance to compete for a state title.

Same here. Some schools have trouble even finding a coach. And also, I think a good amount of kids go for volleyball in the spring because there is no other sport. If it's moved to the fall, I am preety sure that sports such as football and soccer will overtake volleyball.

maybe soccer will hurt it, but not football, different type of athlete and football is pretty much a no cut sport now. Volleyball is a much better, similar skills sport for basketball players, and might be a better choice than football to get ready for basketball

In my opinion, the problem with moving to the fall doesn't really revolve around which other sports would have a greater negative impact on volleyball.  Football, soccer, and cross country may very well be a rough equivalent to baseball, lacrosse, track, and tennis.  The advantage to the spring is that coaches get to "sell their sport" throughout the fall and winter to would-be volleyball players.  Once they play volleyball, they are hooked for life, but getting them out for volleyball over other sports that are perceived to have a higher status attached to them is a whole other story.  This is an unfortunate result of the middle school to high school transition and the 4 season to 3 season schedule.  Volleyball is affected perhaps more than any other sport by this.  Additionally, the spring season is unique in that boy's volleyball starts a few weeks after other sports begin.  This gives the athletes that do not make the baseball or lacrosse teams the opportunity to still try out for volleyball.  I know of many very good volleyball players who are the result of not making the baseball team.  Personally, I am not in favor of the switch to the fall.  It seems to be inevitable though.

if nassau is the only county in the spring, why would the rest of the state move to the spring just for them. who cares about ncaa mens, this is new york state boys volleyball. theres a difference. im not saying whether or not i think they should move, but thats just a horrible reason to say why they shouldnt. its not a legit reason at all
