World ParaVolley Risk Assessment and Competition Mitigation Checklist Tool

This checklist has been developed by Dr. A. Marshall, Medical Advisor to World ParaVolley, in collaboration with the Medical Director, World ParaVolley Technical Commission, Referees Commission, Beach ParaVolley Commission, and Rules of the Game Commission.

If movement restrictions (regional, local) and physical distancing measures remain in place, the Risk Assessment may not apply as public health restrictions (e.g. maximum number of people together, quarantine post movement, etc.) take precedence and by their very nature may preclude any training or competition.
