The district finally backed down and approved the construction of our sand volleyball courts. They tried to ignore us for years but they could not silence 480 of us once we started demanding what was promised. We won this fight and now we hold them to their word until those …

San Dieguito Academy High School girls Sand Volleyball Team does not have their own sand courts to practice or play their home matches on. SDA's sand volleyball courts were removed to make way for the building of the Performing Arts Center and were never replaced as promised.
The NCAA has now added Sand Volleyball as one of its sports (with a former SDA sand volleyball player accepting an offer to play on Cal's sand team in the Pac 12). We also expect that the CIF will be sanctioning Sand Volleyball soon.
We support the sand volleyball program at SDA and the construction of three sand volleyball courts to allow this program to thrive.
We understand that there may be a timeline issue with this construction, so we encourage you to vocally support adding these courts to the SDA Master Plan as well as support the addition of sand volleyball courts to construction that can be completed sooner and give our students the opportunities other schools in the district have.
Two other possible options are SDUHSD's new La Costa Valley Fields property on Calle Barcelona, and the new Encinitas Community Park on Santa Fe Drive (perhaps with a partnership between SDUHSD/SDA and the City of Encinitas).
Similar requests for courts have been unanswered over the last two+ years. Please, help us get these courts, now, so that our sons and daughters will be on a level competing field with the other schools in our district and league.
We need to let SDA's administration and the school district know that we as parents, a community and supporters of the sport, need to find a solution soon before the opportunity passes our students by.
Please support us by signing this petition and letting SDA and the District know that we URGE them to find a location to build three courts for SDA's Mustangs Sand Volleyball team within the next year!

The administration keeps ignoring us but they cannot ignore 250 signatures landing on their desks. Drag this link onto your feed and force them to look at the broken promises they made to these athletes.

Dear SDA administration, I would be happy to with fundraising for these courts should the school have difficulty financing this simple project.
San Dieguito Academy HS needs a sand volleyball court on campus. They were promised to be replaced when they were removed for the Performing Arts Center building. Lets make this happen for our teams and school. We can or have room for them! Thank you,
As a former high school volleyball player I know the challenges with finding sand courts for organized competition. Please move forward expeditiously with this valuable asset for SDA and its students.
The SD high school sand volleyball league has grown from 8 to close to 40 schools this spring in the last 4 years. Sand volleyball is a NCAA sport. See the future, build courts.
SDA should dominate this sport with the facilities that everyone else has and not be shackled by having to beg, borrow and hope we get "very had find" court time somewhere just to practice or host a league match.
Why isn’t the high school coordinating with the city of Encinitas parks and recreation department to have a joint-use agreement? Get on this before we graduate!!!
why have we not seen this as a discussion item at a school board meeting in the past 18 months?

If the courts are made correctly they will remain great for years at no maintenance cost to the school. This is a great opportunity for our athletes here. As with other outdoor sports we have an advantage in so cal we need to explore for our young athletes.
