Badger Region Championships canceled due to extension of “Safer At Home” order
Friday, April 17th, 2020
Due to the April 16 extension of the “Safer At Home” order from Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, the Badger Region Volleyball Association is canceling the 2020 Badger Region Championships.

The new date of the annual tournament had been set for May 30-31 at the Wisconsin Center in downtown Milwaukee. However, the new “Safer At Home” order goes through May 26 (Memorial Day), which does not give athletes, coaches and other personnel enough time to properly prepare for the two-day tournament. Also, we aren’t able to know far enough in advance what kinds of social distancing measures would be in place to safely hold an event of that size.
We had looked forward to giving our members an amazing end-of-year tournament, and we are so saddened we had to make this decision for 2020.
In conjunction with the Badger Region Championships, we had hoped to run the Badger Region High Performance tryouts. No decision has been made at this time regarding how we will handle HP tryouts for the 2020 camps and competition. More information will be forthcoming about Badger Region HP in the near future.
In the meantime, we are already planning ahead for next season and bringing back our Championships, Qualifier, Dale Rohde Memorial Tournament, Adult Tournaments, Power League, Badger Boys Series, clinics and other awesome events that got canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are also looking forward to another great Badger Region Youth Fall Volleyball League and other programming this summer and fall, once we are given the all-clear.
There are brighter futures ahead for all of us. We will get there – together.
