Proposed WEMO Volleyball Tournament Statement
September 4, 2020
WEMO Patrons,
Conference administrators have been involved in discussions regarding the upcoming WEMO junior high and high school volleyball tournaments for nearly two months. Concerns regarding both student and community safety have driven these conversations. After thoughtful consideration, it had been determined that placing athletes and spectators from 10 schools in a single indoor facility will raise the risk of a large-scale COVID-19 outbreak to an unacceptable level. Therefore, contingency plans will be utilized.
Options for multiple formats of play are being designed. Our goal is to play both tournaments using an alternate format that will reduce the number of individuals preset in any one facility. The junior high tournament will still be held on Saturday, October 10. The high school tournament has been rescheduled and will now be played on Saturday, October 24. Location information, format, and times will be released when details have been finalized.
Best Regards,
WEMO Conference Superintendents & Athletic/Activities Directors
