Yukon Chief Medical Officer of Health, Brendan Hanley, and Premier Sandy Silver announced that as of September 9th, Yukon is still in PHASE 3 and have extended our State of Emergency . Like you, we are keen to resume volleyball as quickly as possible. However, we cannot jeopardize the safety of participants or the progress that has been made to flatten the COVID-19 curve in the Yukon. We must return to playing volleyball in a phased and responsible manner.
The government has asked each sport to develop its own Return to Play Plan for this phase that meets health authority guidelines. Volleyball Yukon has developed this plan for volleyball in collaboration with Volleyball Canada and the Yukon Medical Officer and staff. Our plan is available below and we are now in PHASE FOUR. It is imperative that affiliates follow the Volleyball Canada Safe Return to Volleyball document, the Volleyball Yukon RTP Plan, the Yukon Government Contact Sports Guidelines and the Yukon Department of Education K-12 School Settings Guidelines (all documents are available below).
While sports still don’t have certainty, we have been advised of the following principles:
Volleyball Yukon RETURN TO PLAY PLAN - Sept. 11, 2020. We are currently in PHASE 4 of this plan.
Volleyball Canada Safe Return to Volleyball - Updated June 15th, 2020.
Yukon Government Contact Sports Guidelines - Sept 2020
Yukon Government Guidelines for K-12 School Settings - Aug 2020 - refer to page 9 "User Group and Public Access"
Our strength lies in our community. We are looking forward to getting back on court as fast as possible – but in the meantime, please play your part to keep our sport and players safe.
