Elevation will be suspending all in person team practices and tournament play through May 1st as mandated by USA Volleyball.  Teams are meeting online with their coaches and the club has regularly scheduled coaching sessions going on during this period.  Players are also receiving home workouts both with and without a ball.  The OVR Bid Tournament and Windy City Qualifiers have also been cancelled by the organizers.   Teams will be receiving updated information as it becomes available including information on the remaining schedule, hotel cancellations, additional training opportunities, and team budget adjustments.   Thank you for your patience as this situation continues to evolve.
