Metro Safety Protocols
Memphis Metro Covid Protocols
Safety First!
Memphis Metro is committed to the health and safety of our members and the community. Safety for our players, coaches, staff and their families is our number one priority. In order to serve our players inside the training facility and to ensure their safety, we have implemented new guidelines outlined below to provide you a safe practice/private lesson experience. As this is an evolving situation, we will continue to monitor local guidelines, regulations and recommendations to ensure all proper precautions are being taken so you can feel safe coming to clinics/private lessons.
Here are the precautions we are taking: each court will have their own sanitized balls and ball carts for each practice (using Nemesis spray). Instruction will take place at least 6 feet apart and players will remain socially distanced. Team practices will be at least one court apart and coaches will wear gloves and a mask during practice. Courts will be sanitized after each practice using a Sterilaser – germicidal UV-C light laser that kills viruses, germs, bacteria and more!
Clinics/Camps/Lessons will consist of the following:
Training with start with a limited number of players.
Training will start with a limited number of balls.
Coaches will wear mask and gloves during clinics/camps/ private lesson
Coaches will use separate ball cart/ 15 volleyballs for each group
