USA Volleyball announces ‘Return to Play Guidelines’ for future sanctioning, events

Thursday, May 14th, 2020

As announced on April 24, 2020, USAV and the USAV Board of Directors created a joint task force to create a Return to Play Action Plan for USA Volleyball in the United States. The group spent several weeks gaining information from the USOPC, CDC, tournament directors, other NGBs and medical professionals to develop a comprehensive strategy with the safety of our members as a top priority. The process was comprehensive, inclusive and thorough.

Today USA Volleyball has announced the release of USA Volleyball’s Return to Play Guidelines. These guidelines will be effective May 15 and will supersede the previously announced ban on sanctions that was scheduled to expire on May 23.
