In light of recent events, the Badger Region Volleyball Association has expanded its precautionary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its athletes, spectators, officials and staff.

To quote our friends in the Delta Region:

“Placing our membership and their families at risk during this rapidly-evolving coronavirus emergency just isn’t worth it. It is uncertain that two weeks will be an adequate pause, so please watch your email for updates as they come available. This is uncharted waters for our volleyball community and we all want to do the right thing. Some of these events may be rescheduled, while others in contracted facilities may not be able to obtain a place for a later event.

“We are in this together and what affects one of us affects all of us. Our clubs are the lifeblood of our membership and are the reason we continue to be one of the fastest-growing Regions in USA Volleyball.

“There is a beginning, a middle and an end to all crises. Keeping a positive attitude and embracing good hygiene and social distancing habits remains our best defense. Our prayers are with you and your families as we move toward the end of this challenge.”
