The Sun Prairie School Board on Dec. 5 unanimously approved a measure to add boys volleyball at the high school level starting in the fall of 2023.
According to Athletic Director Eric Nee and Assistant Superintendent of Operations Janet Rosseter who prepared the report, the first two years of the boys volleyball program will be a Sun Prairie High School United team, with participation from both high schools.
Boys volleyball is always one of the top sports students asked for in recent sports interest surveys. Expected participation is 20 students from each high school.
“The district is proud to propose this opportunity for the students,” the report said. “With an awareness of Title IX compliance, during the 2022-23 school year, the District offered girls wrestling as a school sponsored sport. Moving forward, the District will continue to pursue girls wrestling invitationals for our female wrestlers and bring on an additional girls wrestling coach.” Boys volleyball is a WIAA recognized fall sport. The first two seasons will be a co-op team with Sun Prairie West hosting.
Each high school would get their own team beginning in the 2025-26 school year if numbers support two stand alone programs.
The estimated total cost for this approval is $28,350, which includes uniforms, equipment, coaches, officials, transportation and entry fees.
