Volleyball Fans: The next two volleyball games at Rye (Sep. 28) and Swallows (Oct. 2) will have some COVID protocols in place. Spectators, players, and coaches will be expected to wear face masks. As a reminder, COVID protocols in Colorado are being determined by local public health offices in order to make nimble decisions that are influenced by local factors. Therefore, it is expected to experience different protocols depending on the county where the game is played. We appreciate everyone's cooperation. Thanks.
