To all BVL Members, Family, & Friends

As you’re aware by now, on March 12, the Minister of Education issued a Ministerial Order to close schools across the province for a two-week period following the March Break. We’ve been receiving further details throughout today from our various partners and it’s now unanimous that all of the facilities that we use – Public and Catholic Board schools as well as City of Brampton recreation centres will all be closed from March 14 to April 5, inclusive.

As such, all BVL programming is on hold, including league games as well as pick-up volleyball.

Our intent at this point is to resume regular schedules effective Tuesday April 7 pending any further disruptions. Our schedules posted online will be updated as required the weekend of April 4/5 once we are confident that the facilities will be available to us the following week. Once we have more clarity around this, we will communicate any other changes including potentially extending the season.

We will continue to take direction on public health matters, including the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), from our facility partners as well as regional, provincial and federal public health authorities. The landscape surrounding this issue continues to change rapidly and we will endeavour to keep you updated as quickly as we can. Please keep an eye on our website, as well as our Facebook page, for the most current updates.

Note also that our AGM was scheduled to be early April but will likely be pushed to April 13 or later.

Preventing Further Spread

To further assist with containing the spread of the Novel Coronavirus, we also stress and emphasize the following behaviours:

-Don't lick the volleyball

-Wash your hands frequently with soap and water (20 seconds) or alcohol-based hand sanitizer

-Sneeze and cough into your sleeve

-If you are ill or are showing any symptoms, stay home

-Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth

-Avoid contact with people who are sick

-Clean volleyballs regularly (Note: Mikasa recommends using soap and water to clean balls as more astringent cleaners may compromise the integrity of the ball)

Any questions, concerns etc., please don’t hesitate to reach out to president@bramptonvolleyball.com.

Stay safe & enjoy time with your families!

For those Facebook junkies, the BVL page is now open - look up the group at "Brampton Volleyball League (BVL)".  Hopefully this will be a new way for members, teams and the league to communicate.  New content will be added over the next few days.
