Missouri Valley

Keeping Our Junior Tournaments Safe For All

October 02, 2020


Dear Parents & Players - 

 

It has been an exciting September getting our USTA Missouri Valley level events up and running after being on "pause" for the pandemic. As we all know, tennis is a relatively safe environment for us to pursue competition and physical activity without a great amount of exposure to the virus. However, there is a lot more involved in a tennis tournament than just the participation on the court. 

 

In order to help navigate these aspects of our events safely, facilities and city officials have created COVID-19 protocol specific to their facilities and governance areas. These protocols will not look the same from facility to facility or state to state. However, respecting the protocols in place is a very important part of attending a USTA Missouri Valley tournament and of the sportsmanship of our game.

Please help your players understand that USTA Missouri Valley events are to be environments of respect and cooperation.  Each tournament will post their COVID-19 specific protocols on their tournament homepage. Entry in the tournaments assumes that the players and spectators are willing to abide by these posted guidelines regardless of any personal opinions on the validity of these guidelines. Please support our tournament staff as they attempt to make the tournament as safe as they can for everyone involved, and help keep USTA Missouri Valley healthy and safe as we transition into indoor tennis season.

USTA Missouri Valley President
