Drive Nation Volleyball Family,

We wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for your continued understanding of the circumstances surrounding COVID-19 and the resulting disruption to our season (practice and tournament cancellations and postponements). While these unprecedented actions have upset some, and many are understandably disappointed, Drive Nation is family, and we are all acting in the best of interest of our family. We will continue to actively monitor the recommendations from local, state, and national governing bodies, as well as working to extend our season until the end of June to allow time to reschedule all postponed region tournaments. This may include moving Bid Regionals to later in May and moving the McChesney Championship into June as a Pre-Nationals warm-up tournament. As you are aware, circumstances are changing by the hour and our staff is working hard to stay on top of everything. We are in constant communication with USA Volleyball and the North Texas Region.

Here is an overview of the things that are currently going on or discussions that we have been having with USA Volleyball and the North Texas Region:

1. As a club and facility, we will do everything we can to get our players/teams back into the gym as soon as we can.
2. The North Texas Region is hopeful that we will be able to resume activities at some point and continue the tournament season through the end of June.
3. USA Volleyball still plans to hold Nationals. With the qualification process being disrupted (canceled qualifiers), we are uncertain how bids will be awarded for Nationals. We will relay this information as it becomes available to us.
4. There are some qualifiers that are still scheduled to take place. Each of those qualifiers will let us know if they decide to cancel the tournament. As we have learned, some tournaments have given alot of notice and some have given very short notice!
5. We are hoping to get new information from USA Volleyball that could allow private lessons and small team practices to occur at some point in the near future. If that does become an option, we will notify everyone when that is possible and under what guidelines those events can take place.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. As you can imagine, there are alot of unknowns at this point but we are all trying our best to work through this unexpected situation we are all facing.

Thank you,

Drive Nation Volleyball
