As excitement for the beach volleyball game continues to grow at the collegiate level all across the country, there is hope that the game will eventually make its way to the coveted list of “emerging sports” produced by the NCAA.
The definition of an emerging sport, according to the NCAA, is “a sport recognized by the NCAA that is intended to provide additional athletics opportunities to female student-athletes.” The arbiter of the list is the Committee on Women’s Athletics, a group formed to monitor the Association’s compliance with Title IX.
