Tournament Information

Our tournament on March 6th will be allowing only 4 spectators per team.  We have a full 12R division with 12 teams and a full 14R division with 12 teams.  Ohio Hamilton County Health Department is allowing indoor sports facilities to have 25% maximum indoor capacity.   Because we will have 24 teams in our facility at one time that will allow us to only have four spectators per team to stay within the 25% maximum capacity of our facility.  We are thankful we are able to host volleyball tournaments at our facililty but we also take the Covid guidelines and protocols seriously for the health and safety of everyone that enters our facility.  Staying at the 25% maximum capacity will only allow us to have four spectators per team for this tournament.  An email will be sent to all coaches and directors for the teams that are entered with more detailed information on how the spectators will be recorded for each team.  

Thanks for your undertstanding as we at OPVC and RGSA want to make this a great tournament while also keeping everyone safe and healthy and stay within the Hamilton County Health Department capacity protocols for indoor sports facilitiles. 

OHIO PREMIER VOLLEYBALL CLUB

MARCH 6th TOURNAMENT 12 Regional and 14 Regional Teams

 

NOW ALLOWING ONE SPECTATOR PER PLAYER BUT WITH THE FOLLOWING PROTOCOLS:

 Spectators will only be allowed in the facility when their team is playing.  Once their team is done playing they have to leave the facility and wait in the parking lot until their team is warming up to play again.  Their coach can text them when their team is warming up to play.  Spectators also need to be outside of the facility when their team is officiating.  They can only be in the facility when their team is playing and sitting socially distance on our bleachers.  All the players of a team can stay in the facility when officiating even if they personally do not have a responsibility until the next set.  Parents can quickly get something from our concession stand if needed and take it outside.  We should only have 20 spectators on each court when a match is being played.  If you have more then 10 players on your team that is fine to still have one spectator per player because some teams do not have 10 on their roster.  The Covid Chaperone counts as a spectator.  We will have a front door adult monitor to check wristbands coming into our facility.  Parents are not allowed to switch out with another parent during the day.  The same person who’s name we write down next to the player needs to be the same person all day NO EXCEPTIONS. 

 

The schedule for Spectator entrance is below in this document.  They each have to pay $5.00 cash for gate fee to enter and to get wristband.

 

After Pool Play Spectators need to wait outside until their coach contacts them about the bracket play schedule and when their team is playing.  Players can stay inside and wait.

All adults will have a wristband that has to be on their wrists at all times.  Spectators have to leave the facility after their team is done playing and can come back when their team is warming up to play again. We will be monitoring the front doors and also will be checking names and wristbands when a spectator comes back into our facility. If your team has a covid chaperone listed on the official team roster that adult does not need to pay the $5.00 gate fee BUT they are counted as a spectators.  All spectators need to pay the $5.00 gate fee if they are not a covid chaperone.  Cash only for the gate fee.  WHEN YOUR TEAM IS NOT PLAYING and if your team is officiating YOU NEED TO COMPLETELY EXIT THE PLAYING COURT and go outside.

WHEN YOUR TEAM IS OFFIATING THERE WILL BE A SPECIFIC PLACE FOR THE OFFIATING PLAYERS TO SIT (for those players that do not have an immediate officiating responsibility).  For Pools on courts 1, 2, 5 and 6 the officiating players area will be against the back wall of those courts.  There will be signs to designate this area.  For pools on courts 4B and 3B the officiating team will be designated a bleacher just for the officiating team at that time.  A sign will be above that particular bleacher. 

 

ALL PLAYERS NEED TO KEEP THEIR BACKPACKS AND WATER BOTTLES WITH THEM.  THE TWO EMPTY COURTS FOR PLAYERS AND PARENTS CAN SIT AND WAIT TO PLAY AGAIN BUT WHEN THEY DO PLAY THEY MUST TAKE ALL THEIR PERSONAL BELONGINGS WITH THEM.  THERE IS NOT “CAMPING” LEAVING ITEMS. 

 

NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED IN OUR FACILITY - NO OUTSIDE COFFEE CUPS

WE HAVE A FULL CONCESSION STAND WITH HEALTHY OPTIONS FOR PLAYERS AND SPECTATORS

We will accept Cash at our Concession Stand!!

 

·      WE WILL HAVE FRESH COFFEE AND MORNING FOOD AS WELL AS PIZZA AND OTHER Healthy food options throughout the day.  We will have fruit and muffins as well.  

·      We will have a full concession stand with healthy food and drink options.  Our drinking fountains are covered and will not be in use.  No outside food or drink is allowed in our facility.  Parents/coaches will NOT be allowed to bring coffee cups into our facility in the morning. 

·      OFFICIATING - We will follow the OVR protocol for officiating matches per Covid.  All teams need to bring their own pens and pencils for the officiating table none will be provided.

·      We will have social distance designated areas for players/coaches to sit while their teams are not playing and/or while they are officiating.  

·      All teams will need to use their own volleyballs for warm-up without exception we will not supply warm-up volleyballs.  Even though we have open courts to space out because of Covid there will be absolutely NO warming up or ball warm up on our empty courts. 

·      NO COACHES MEETING. We will not have a big group coaches meeting.  I think all the information is on this document.  I will be going around to each court and will quickly meet with each coach on that court to answer any questions the coach might have and to make sure each coach knows where to go when team is officiating and where to go when their team sits. 

It is very important you send this information to all your coaches/staff and parents. We are glad we will be able to host volleyball tournaments at our facility but the health and safety for all players, staff, coaches and spectators is our number one concern. We have all of these things in place to avoid large crowding of people at one time trying to keep social distance because of Covid.  Coaches I am relying on you to help with your parents and players following these rules for this tournament.

Awards will be given out to first and second place in Gold Bracket
