While USA Volleyball (USAV) has outlined its Return to Play Guidelines and resumed sanctioning events as of May 15th, not every USAV club is able and/or willing to jump back into practices so freely. USAV itself has said that its insurance coverage “will only be provided for activities that are allowed” by each program’s state and local guidelines.

With Zoom meetings and virtual team workouts still the norm in parts of the country, many club coaches and directors are preparing for their chance to reopen and wonder if, even when facilities are available, are events possible?

We spoke with staff members from several clubs around the U.S. that weren’t quite opened yet to see what they’re up to, anyway. Sure, it’s disappointing to not be able to play just yet, but we’re seeing a great deal of creativity and joy about what is still possible.
