- History
-
- The Virginia Sports Information Directors
organization is comprised of sports information
professionals from NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA and
independent institutions from the state of Virginia.
The purpose of the organization is to promote college
athletics at all four-year institutions. Membership is
open to anyone affiliated with a four-year college or
conference located in Virginia, and whose area of
responsibility lies within the area of sports
information.
-
- VaSID sponsors All-State teams in a number of sports
in both university and college divisions, which are
linked to this web site. The organization also
maintains Virginia state record books for baseball,
men's and women's basketball, men's and women's
soccer, and softball. Record books for football and
volleyball are currently under construction.
-
- Many VaSID members are active in other
professional organizations including the College Sports
Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) and the
Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Sports
Information Directors Association (ECAC-SIDA). The VaSID
organization meets annually in Richmond during the first
week of June.
-
- The VaSID organization was formed when
a group of sports information directors from Virginia
met at the annual CoSIDA Convention in Dallas during the
summer of 1982. As the idea of an organization unfolded,
Kevin Keys, then SID at Liberty Baptist College, was
given the responsibility of putting together the
organizational guidelines and getting them to the
advisory board in time for the 1982-83 basketball
season.
-
- The organization was officially formed
when the VaSID Constitution was accepted on May 3, 1983.
Elected as the inaugural president of VaSID was Rich
Murray of James Madison University. Jim Alnuti of the
CIAA Office was elected to serve as Vice-President,
while Kevin Keys held the first Secretary/Treasurer
post. Serving as All-State season coordinators were
Carol Hudson, Tom Baker of Virginia Commonwealth
University, Debbie Davis of Radford University, and Hoke
Currie of Longwood College.
