COVID-19 Vaccination Policy

After careful consideration and in-step with the North American Gay Volleyball Association (NAGVA), the Board of LSVA has decided that all players will be required to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 by October 11, 2021, in order to play during LSVA-sanctioned events including Open Play, Skills Clinics, Evaluations, and League Play.  This added protection will be in conjunction with our continued mask mandate off and on the court, which is currently in place. 

Presently, the CDC defines fully vaccinated as being a minimum of 14 days after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna, & AstraZeneca) or one dose of the single-dose vaccine provided by Johnson & Johnson.  To confirm your vaccination status, we ask that you please bring a physical or digital copy of your CDC-issued vaccination card to our Monday Open Plays for the Director of Registration or his designees to visually inspect and mark complete under your profile.

We take privacy very seriously and have no desire to store any record of your CDC-issued card on our systems.  We will simply have a yes/no box that we will check.  Like all sensitive data on our website such as credit card information, individual ratings scores, etc, your information is safe and accessible only by the highest levels of our Board, a group that is prohibited from disseminating any information and has access only for administrative and planning purposes.

This time last year, during some of the darkest days of the pandemic, it was hard to imagine we would be able to play our beloved sport again.  The miracle of modern science has provided us an opportunity to finally move beyond the past 18 months, but this miracle only works if we all do our part and roll up our sleeves to protect our loved ones, our friends, and our teammates on the court.  Please send any questions to president@lonestarvolleyball.org.
