Tewksbury high has no men's program. So for years they've been trying to snag a guy onto the team.

You legally cannot say no to a male player - since they don't offer a men's program.

As the rules stand with the MIAA (massachusetts interscholastic athletic association i believe) males can play. They are STRONGLY SUGGESTED to hit back row only and not play front row. However they never passed the rules banning a guy from attacking in front of the ten foot line.

There were a few hearings about it like four years ago? However the board that shot it down had no volleyballers on it, so it didn't make sense to them why they would want to pass it.
