Laurie Dagostino. 2^nd NYJOV meeting

Best Time of the Year for the 2nd annual Juniors meeting. Suggestion of the weekend before the Championships, at the site of the Championships, for 2002, this would be the weekend of May 18, 2001, in Dallas.

Unanimously approved the minutes of last year’s meeting, and the Administrative Council Actions since last year.

Mike Hulett. Disabled Athletes.

The Men’s standing team will be traveling to the Czech Republic for competition. Shriners Hospital and YMCA volleyball sitting and standing competitions, are cooperating as a means of generating opportunities and identifying athletes to participate. It is suggested that Teams dedicate some portion of their weekly practice time to developing and working with disabled athletes. Volleyball is a great opportunity for rehabilitation, and mainstreaming disabled athletes within the volleyball community.
