History
With the emergence of football at Georgia State University, due to Title IX scholarship restrictions, it was necessary for GSU to increase the amount of women's scholarships available in their athletic program[1]
The creation of beach volleyball at Georgia State was announced on September 27, 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 2012, and was completed by September 2012.[3][4] The site has unofficially been nicknamed "The Beach." [5] Originally named as head coach of beach volleyball, head coach Tami Audia was elevated to Director of Volleyball, being replaced by assistant coach Beth Van Fleet in July 2013.[6]
On October 20, 2015, Georgia State joined the CCSA as a beach volleyball member, coinciding with the NCAA's decision to sponsor it and provide a championship, as well as the addition of beach volleyball as an official CCSA sport (which led to that conference changing its name from the original Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association).[7] This also coincided with the NCAA changing the name of the sport from "sand" to "beach" volleyball.[8]
