Evolution of Volleyball in Alaska
State Volleyball had its start as the “West-ern Alaska Girls Volleyball Tournament” in 1971. Only eight teams attended the first two years. In 1973, the tournament expanded to twelve teams and was host-ed by Dimond. Teams were seeded at random because of the different number of games played prior to the tournament. The first ASAA sanctioned State Tourna-ment was held sometime after 1973. Un-til 1980, the matches were best two out of three.
Starting with the 1985 season, ASAA created separate divisions for the small-er sized schools. Those with enrollments 100-400 now competed for their own championship, while schools below 100 had their own tournament. This changed again in 1987-88 when all schools below 400 competed for one championship. In 1991, both championships were held at the same site for the first time---Bartlett High School---and Lee Johnson was the tournament director.
Volleyball in Alaska increased in popu-larity over the next 8 years resulting in a major change.
For the 1997-98 season, schools in Re-gions 1 and 2 were grouped into a clas-sification known as 1A-2A. 3A Schools in the North and Western part of Alaska also joined this division as the season was more conducive to their school year and backhaul with wrestling. In addition, a number of small schools who could not
field a full girls team began competing coed in a classification known as “Mixed Six”. The coed division began with only four teams qualifying to the state tourna-ment and Golovin winning the Champi-onship. By 2002, the popularity of this new format increased to the point that eight teams qualified out of six confer-ences.
In 2009, all the 3A-West schools re-turned to the early fall schedule leav-ing the 1A/2A schools with the Mixed Six schools. Presently, the 3A and 4A schools season starts in early August and ends in mid-November. The 1A and 2A and Mixed Six Division start in late Sep-tember and finish in early December.
