Thank you for your interest in our 2023 Friendship Scrimmage!

*****************************************************************************************************************Spectators

Currently Kids America is not limiting spectators and does not require masks to be worn. However, this is subject to change based on the COVID-19 guidelines set forth by our County Health Department. Any changes will be posted on this page, closer to the date of the event.

Additionally, doors will open at 7:00am to allow more time for teams and spectators to get set up and situated for a full day of OVR volleyball! We are trying to limit the "mad rush" at opening. We hope your teams and parents find this helpful.

There will be a coaches meeting at 8:00am, warm-ups will start at 8:15, and play will begin at 8:30am. Matching uniforms are not necessary, however, numbered shirts are. We will be training/refreshing scorekeepers so having numbered uniforms/jerseys/shirts is important.

Tournament site info:

The doors of the playing site will open at 7:00 AM. Visiting team camps will be in the designated camping room adjacent to the mini soccer field. Keep all coolers in cars. Coolers are prohibited in and outside of facilities hosting OVR-sanctioned events. Setting up tables and/or cooking by teams or their support staff, fans, coaches, or parents are prohibited at OVR-sanctioned events. A full concession stand with reasonable prices will be provided at the tournament site.

Seating:

We have balcony seating as well as limited space for court seating with personal camping chairs. No chairs will be permitted on the end lines or between the courts. Please be aware that there are 5 teams in each pool which will casue the sidelines to be more crowded then normal tournaments at KA.  So I ask that if you team is not playing to move to the back of the sidelines to allow others to watch their child who is playing.

**NOTE** Kids America will follow all OVR and State of Ohio guidelines and best practices as it relates to COVID-19. Our goal is to provide our teams and spectators the most enjoyable and safest experience possible during this challenging time. Thanks for your patience, understanding and compliance.
