UPDATE ON VOLLEYBALL: While information was previously communicated to head coaches, we apologize for the confusion regarding the update not being sent to all administrators. During a recent court proceeding, it was asked if volleyball was considered a contact or non-contact sport. It was announced that the Governor’s Office viewed it as a non-contact sport, something which was previously a gray area. We will continue to communicate with each of you should we receive any updates, but here is the information that was shared regarding volleyball:We received a statement from an attorney that represents the Governor’s office that volleyball has now been declared a non-contact sport, effective immediately. OHSAA volleyball administrator Emily Gates has been in touch to request guidance be listed specific to volleyball, but in the meantime, please use the Responsible RestartOhio guidelines found on the Ohio Coronavirus webpage for General Non-Contact Sports and Contact Sport Practices and Non-Contact Sport Competitions, which can be found at the following links...
