History
With the emergence of football at Georgia State University, due to Title 9 scholarship restrictions, it was necessary for GSU to increase the amount of women's scholarships available in their athletic program[1]
The creation of sand volleyball at Georgia State was announced on September 27th, 2011, by Georgia State Athletic Director Cheryl Levick.[2] Construction of the GSU Sand Volleyball Complex, a 340 seat, 3 tiered court set, began in April of 2012, and was completed by September 2012. [3] [4]
Originally named as head coach of sand volleyball, head coach Tami Audia was elevated to Director of Volleyball, being replaced by assistant coach Beth Van Fleet in July 2013.[5]
