Restarting of Volleyball
Good evening all. Sorry for the long message. I hope this note finds everyone well?
Restarting of Volleyball
The committee met a few weeks ago to discuss the resumption of Volleyball at Winchester. In light of the announcement recently by the UK government and the clarification by Volleyball England, we are going to restart Volleyball shortly.
Clearly there are a plethora of restrictions that we are having to take into consideration and also follow strict health and hygiene rules. The health of our members is and always will be the first consideration we take, henceforth, however, we believe on balance, at this time, we can resume.
The Committee will review the sessions on a week on week basis and we will halt Volleyball on Wednesday nights if the risks to your health increases from the current levels at the current time
Taking into consideration all of this, the committee have decided on the following
• We will resume outdoor volleyball on Wednesday 22nd July (note: there are as yet no plans for indoor volleyball), the sessions will run every Wednesday until September
• The sessions will start at 19:00 and run for a maximum of 1.5 hours
• We will erect 3 nets on each night
• We will run 3 games, 1 game on each court of 2 vs 2, beach style volleyball, we will limit the interchanging of teams and at all times, between set’s etc disinfect the Volleyball
• We are also considering a small amount of fitness conditioning and skills
Wednesdays, initially will be open to members only on a first come first serve basis.
Whatsapp will be used for the time being to confirm your attendance, you can only book for the following week from the Thursday prior, so if the session is on Wednesday 22nd of July for instance you can book via a simple WhatsApp from Thursday 16th of July. A simple Whatsapp to myself will be sufficient to book your place.
Social distancing (two metres) is to be maintained at all times when the ball is not in play and when participants are off court. This means no handshakes or congratulatory touches.
Could we please ask all people to bring their own hand sanitizers
We have ordered 6 new outdoor balls
Disclaimer coming – We have reviewed all of the potential risks and believe this to be the lowest risk option at this time for us to restart Volleyball, until we receive further information from Volleyball England. Please note we cannot fully guarantee your 100% safety at all times
If you feel in any way unwell, can the committee ask that you do not attend.
