Reminders: • Everyone in attendance will be muted once the meeting starts. • If you want to comment, you will need to unmute yourself. I will try to manage the conversations to make sure everyone has the opportunity to speak out. • Feel free to submit thoughts via the chat and hopefully one of our OSAA staff members will be monitoring that.

Purpose: • To develop a set of recommendations that we can present to the OSAA Executive Board to help our membership schools with guidance and a comprehensive set of guidelines specific to volleyball. • What we develop and recommend will be impacted by the decisions of other entities - the situation continues to evolve and we should be prepared for changes to occur.

What we can anticipate: • The NFHS/SMAC and the OSAA/SMAC will continue to issue medical guidance. Medical recommendations carry BIG WEIGHT with decision makers. • Not every sport will have the same reopening timelines.

Things we know: • OSAA Executive Board shifted the all seasons. Volleyball is during Season 3 February 22 – May 2. • OHA came out with some new Guidance for K-12 School Sports, Limited Return to Play. • Masks must be worn by all indoor activities and outdoor activities where 6 feet of physical distancing cannot be maintained.

Season 1 Information (August 31 – December 27) Coaches must be certified to work with their student-athletes.
