VOLLEYBALL NT - COVID-19 UPDATES

UPDATED ON March 8th, 2022
VNT is excited for a return to volleyball in the NWT. A Return to Play Guidelines document has been created to assist organizers that are considering restarting their volleyball programs in the Northwest Territories. Under VNT’s Return to Play Guidelines, clubs can consider restarting operations. A safe return to volleyball will take place in a phased approach under the direction of Volleyball NT, Volleyball Canada, Sport North and the “Emerging Wisely Plan” introduced by the Northwest Territories Health Officials.

It is important that volleyball organizations, clubs, coaches, officials, players and volunteers are aware that choosing to participate in sports activities will increase the risk of contracting COVID-19.

Please note – VNT’s insurance does not cover claims related to COVID-19.

The information in the Return to Play document is intended to supplement any local, territorial, and/or national regulations and guidelines. Organizers must always be aware of changes occurring within the NWT and they must always follow the public health officials’ guidelines and regulations.

The document will be updated accordingly to the GNWT’s current rules & regulations.  Public health restrictions will always guide what is allowable in the return to volleyball. The documents below are intended to provide guidelines and protocols to enable a safe return to play.
