The teams are also required to clean the balls after each practice and periodically during the match. Normally teams switch benches between each set but they are not doing that this seaosn due to covid. While the teams are traveling on the busses there is only allowed to be one person on each seat of the bus.

According to freshman Charlotte Ritcher the teams also cannot shake hands at the end of each game which usually they do.

“The state has done a good job helping to protect the players, coaches and spectators,” said head volleyball coach Doug Balser. “I wish more people could attend and watch, but we completely understand that decision. Ultimately, the girls are simply excited to get to play.”
