Hello, this is the official home page for 2003 GSA Volleyball.

Basics

• This is the same league as is listed the Volleyball (Faculty/Grad) for the IM department. If you signed up there, please check the enrolled teams link below (after Friday, January 24, 2003) and let me know if there are any problems. You should read this web page for all the information.
• The season runs from February 2 till April 27.
• Games are every Sunday between 6pm and 10pm (last game starts at 9pm).
• All games are in the main gym in the old gym on Tech St (near Posner Hall/GSIA) (it's #8 on this map)
• We play 6 on 6, but if on any particular week you are allowed to play with as few as 4.
• All faculty, staff, and graduate students are invited to play. Others (such as friends and signifigant others) may be allowed to play,with the approval of the tournament director . Undergraduates, however, are not allowed to play (this is a constraint imposed by our funding arrangement with GSA). Contact Pat Riley if you have questions about this.
• The purpose of GSA Volleyball is to provide an environment where teams can have fun and play to their level. While we would like people to play to the best of their abilities, we would also want to foster an environment of fun and good sportsmanship; in essence, a kinder, gentler volleyball league. We play because volleyball is fun!
