Volleyball Alberta Premiers & Competition Updates Regarding COVID-19
Position as of March 24, 2020
IMPORTANT: Communique regarding COVID-19 – Volleyball Season: Cancellations and Suspensions effective March 24th, 2020
In response to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, Volleyball Alberta has made the decision to cancel our 2020 Provincial Championships.
We are very disappointed to have to make this announcement as we know how important these tournaments are to the volleyball community.
The health and safety of our members remains our highest priority; with current modelling for COVID-19 indicating that we have yet to see the peak of this pandemic, all indications show that we will be under public health restrictions for the long haul.
Moving Forward Together
Although we may not be in physical contact, we can still be there for each other! The volleyball community is special, and we still want to connect with you!
- Please take a moment to read this great article on Volleyball Canada’s website about ways to deal with social distancing and responding to uncertainty of COVID-19.
- Follow us @VolleyballAlberta on Facebook, @VolleyballAB on Twitter and on Instagram for up to date information and great content.
- Most of our staff are working remotely but we are still available by phone or email and to respond to your questions. We are posting all our latest information on our website, volleyballalberta.ca, so you can stay as up to date and connected.
We will continue to monitor all appropriate medical and public safety advice. Our goal is to resume our programs as soon as it is appropriate and prudent. Until then, we thank everyone for your patience and commitment.
