Boys volleyball won't be a sanctioned high school league sport in Minnesota

For the second time in as many years, high school boys volleyball fell just short of becoming a sanctioned Minnesota State High School League sport.

The sport needed 32 “yes” votes out of 48 at Tuesday’s MSHSL representative assembly to be sanctioned. It received 31.

The close call left the hundreds of supporters present at the meeting in Brooklyn Park in a stunned silence. Tears were prevalent outside the meeting room in the immediate aftermath of the vote. Proponents of sanctioning the sport spoke of the opportunity and inclusivity that boys volleyball — currently a popular and growing high school club sport with 1,400 participants across the state — brought to Minnesota high school athletics.
