Fight the Power! Seriously, find other girls who want to play volleyball. Start a petition. Have your parents attend PTA and school board meetings. Write up a proposal weighing the pros and cons of the school having a girls volleyball team. If you can't get it started immediately as an official sport, see what it would take to start a club. Usually you just need a teacher (even outside of the PE department) to sponsor you.
Good luck!

What other sports does your school have?
I teach at a Jr. high. We are required to have the same amount of sports for boys as there are for girls.
Girls at our school can play basketball, volleyball, or be on the track team. Seems weird cheer leading is the only option.
If the boys have more sports at your school than girls, get the parents involved. Believe me, the administration ONLY listens to parents (not teachers or students)
good luck

I hate cheerleaders too! I love volleyball though. You could join a club team, or petition the school board to get a v- ball team started.

Definately GET SOME ADULTS INVOLVED! you are more likely to get positive results and someone to listen to your ideas when you have an adults' help...trust me. Go to your principal ask him about having a volleyball team-tell him you can have a fundraiser to raise up enough money: equipment, jerseys, and whatnot...that would totally get his attention when you say that-then he will know that you are really serious and are already looking ahead...OR______ASk or talk to your principal {with an adult,or two} and see if you can create a petition_ Make a deal or plan with the adult and princial that if at least 30 girls sign the petition and later agree to a fundraiser and whatnot_ then he/she would consider having a volleyball team..............GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Usuallly, if you have enough interest in the sport and go to the Board of Education, you can get it added for the next year. This is especially true if there are more boys sports than girls...Title NIne...equal opportunity and all.
YOu can always play USA club volleyball....go to usavolleyball.org and find the club closest to where you live. It's a blast!

Stop complaining and take action!!
Take a survey of students, (do this with a professional attitude: print petition sheets out and have students sign them), then take it to the school board meetings with you arguments as to :1) How this would benefit your school, a) bring in revenue for games b) supports sports and physical activity of the females in your school c) it will avoid possible discrimination law suits for the school for not having any sporting activities for young ladies.
Also, rally support support among the parents too!!
Well, good luck. Remember , nothing worth having ever comes without a struggle for getting it! And it will help you gain knowledge and character.

Find a few like minded girls and their parents and attend a school board meeting.
School Boards are the most spineless organizations in history and you can probably convince them to fund volleyball, mention Laws like "Title 9", which doesn't apply, but they won't even know that.
You missed the boat for this year, but you are ahead of the curve for next year.
Good Luck.

Many people don't know about the club and/or Jr. Olympic programs that exist in certain cities. See if there is anyone affiliated with volleyball and then ask them. Look for it on the internet.

If enough of your fellow students are also interested in playing volleyball, you could petition your school to form a team. If this doesn't work, you could look for a league outside of school in your community.
Good luck to you.
