31-32. yes, to clarify, players not on sand scholarships can practice with indoor team. That’s what I was thinking of when I posted. Spieler a good example. she practiced indoor although didn’t play. she played sand but wasn’t on scholarship.

Cindy, in regards to sand players practicing with the indoor team during the indoor season…….i believe sand scholarship players cannot practice with the indoor team.

Cindy, unless the NCAA has changed it’s ruling, for example if you’re on a beach scholie for the 2014 spring beach season, you cannot play indoors for the school years 2013/14 and 2014/15, two indoor seasons. So to switch to an indoor scholie from a beach you would have to wait until the school year 2015/16 to receive an indoor scholie. This two year ruling for accepting a beach scholie was in effect from the first sand season in 2012. Haven’t heard about any changes, except the sand to beach term. Maybe someone out there can enlighten us about changes for the coming season.

Ron, the sand players could be considered walk-ons. they have been cleared by the NCAA clearing house.
Agree that it would provide some really good competition. But it would make for crowded gym with the Wahine indoor already using 3 courts at times to do individual-position specific workouts.

28. yes, a player can be switched from one scholarship to the next but not within the same school year.
the rules regarding sand continue to change so not sure what you’re asking.
Scholarships are year-to-year and renewed annually … or not.

Cindy, can a sand player on scholarship be taken off of scholarship and given an indoor scholarship, instead, just wondering?

I have a question Cindy. Can sand players practice with the indoor team? It would seem that this would allow the indoor team to practice against some really good competition but it also might effect the court time of developing players. Do you or anyone know how this would play out? Thanks

14-15: Doubt if Hagins would have gotten a scholarship if there was one.
As for Croson, yes her decision was late but they gave her that time to make the decision. Not like she had a deadline … other than the end of the semester. They wanted her to stay but she needed to do a few things in order to stay on the team. She decided to leave.
19. They may or may not use all 12 scholarships this coming season. They’ve saved some before. I am not concerned either.

18. Not sure about Speiler. She was bothered by the leg injury in fall. Sounded like she was going to be more of a sand player anyway.
