Statement Regarding Cancelation of the SIJHSAA Volleyball State Series

SIJHSAA Important Announcements Related to Coronavirus (COVID-19)

(As of Thursday, March 12, 2020 - 8:00pm) / Dealing with Girls and Boys Bowling & Volleyball)

The SIJHSAA continues to monitor the recommendations of the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Illinois State Board of Educaiton, and the Governor's Office as it relates to coronavirus (COVID-19). The SIJHSAA will be taking precautions as needed dealing with the coronavirus (COVID-19). In the last 24 yours the views and perspectives on the virus, its spread and containment, require that the SIJHSAA re-evaluate what we can do to balance the member school interests, the efforts of the student-athletes, families and coaches/directors, with our responsibilities as State Citizens. The SIJHSAA is doing its best with a rapidly changing situation. The following updates are provided for the sports of Girls and Boys Bowling and Volleyball.

*Girls and Boys Bowling:The upcoming Girls and Boys Bowling State Series has been canceled until further notice. This includes the Regionals (March 14) and the State Finals (March 21).

*Volleyball: The Volleyball State Series has been canceled until further notice.
(Regionals: March 17-24 & State Tournamnet: March 28)

The decisions are not being made lightly. The SIJHSAA will be communicating with state final hosts, regional hosts, vendors, participating schools, and officials as we consider rescheduling on different dates. We will also be monitoring all updated information

regarding the spread of the coronavirus. Some factors such as facilities, dates, etc. must be taken into considerations as we make a decision if, when, and how we can complete both the Girls and Boys Bowling and Volleyball State Series. Some schools have notified my office that their districts are cancelling all extracurricular activities for an extended period of time and or may not host any indoor activities at their school. This type of developing situation will no doubt leave our athletes, member schools, and families with many questions. This is indeed unprecendented not only for the SIJHSAA, but many other organizations across the country. The SIJHSAA apreciates your patience and appologize for the inconvenience. Member schools will be notified when additional information is available.
