A 2019 lawsuit filed by former UK students alleging the school violated Title IX by not providing equal opportunities for women to participate in sports is in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

• Six Stephen F. Austin State University athletes filed a lawsuit against the school alleging Title IX discrimination after SFA announced it was axing women’s bowling, beach volleyball and golf.
• A 2019 lawsuit filed by former UK students alleging the school violated Title IX by not providing equal opportunities for women to participate in sports is in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
• SFA used the same argument UK is using in its appeal and won. While a case decided in Texas doesn’t have any direct impact on a case in the Sixth Circuit, UK could use the ruling to help its case.

A ruling made in the Eastern District of Texas could have an impact on a yearslong Title IX lawsuit against the University of Kentucky.

MANSFIELD — — What a night! The Green Team is the official 2025 Adult Sand
Volleyball League Champions.

That squad battled through a fun and competitive season at the YMCA of North Central Ohio.

Adding to the excitement, Dr. Julie Chaya, Health Commissioner at Richland Public Health, was there to hand over the championship trophy.

Organizers would like to offer a huge thanks to her and Richland Public Health for sponsoring the league and helping us make this season happen.

The final night was more than just volleyball — it was a full-on celebration.

There was a live DJ spinning tunes, a photographer (photo album) and videographer (video link) capturing the action, cornhole on the sidelines, and Domino’s Pizza to keep everyone fueled up.

“It was everything we love about sports — community, energy, fun, and connection,” organizers said. “These kinds of leagues make a real impact — not just in fun and fitness, but in bringing people together.

“A big thank you to all the teams and players who joined us this season. Whether you played every week or came out to cheer, you helped create an awesome atmosphere.

“Also, shoutout to the YMCA of North Central Ohio for letting us use their sand courts all season long. We couldn’t have done it without their support.”

When the owners of Boombox beach volleyball opened their facility in January, they anticipated it would be big, but not big enough for an Olympic Gold medalist?

“It is just to provide a place for people to come relax, hang out, have fun,” said Lee Chartier, with The Boombox.

It’s six outdoor courts and seventy thousand square feet of sand for eight indoor volleyball courts.

“Introduce beach volleyball to the community, grow the sport that we love,” said Chartier.

The absolute perfect way to introduce beach volleyball to the community is by bringing in 3-time gold and one-time bronze Olympic medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings.

“It’s going to be a great time, oh my gosh, we are going to have music going, it’s going to be hot and sweaty and amazing,” said three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings. 

Walsh Jennings will be doing three clinics, two on Saturday and one on Sunday, through her P1440 foundation.

“P1440 was born out of a love for the game and a deep desire and calling to equip the youth of today to handle whatever is in front of them,” said Walsh-Jennings.

“She’ll be doing clinics for the junior players on the sand and on the hard court, and she’ll be doing clinics with the adults on the sand,” said Chartier.

It’s the opportunity for players to not only get instruction in the sport from one of the best but to also insight into her success on and off the court.

“We will do breath work, we will journal, will have a little vision board session. All these little things that might sound really soft that make you a killer,” said Walsh Jennings.

“We’re very excited for her to come in and we’re happy that the community has embraced this,” said Chartier.

The clinics are open to anyone; however, participants must register.

“We say this is not a clinic, this is an experience and you ‘re going to show up one way and you’re going to leave different,” said Walsh Jennings.

For information about the clinics and to register, visit www.boomboxokc.com or www.p1440.org
