NORCECA postpones three beach volleyball events

 

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, March 23, 2020 – NORCECA Confederation, in close consultation with local organizers, has decided to postpone the first three tournaments of the year scheduled in the 2020 Beach Volleyball Circuit due to the pandemic Coronavirus and its consequences for international traveling.

 

The events affected are Aguascalientes in Mexico (April 16-19), Varadero in Cuba (April 30-May 4) and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic (May 6-11).

 

Indhira Ramirez, director of NORCECA Beach Volleyball Department informed all National Federations and organizers in a circular letter of March 22.

 

The letter reads that in NORCECA the health and safety of our athletes, referees, officials and fans is first priority, one that we must take care. The decision to postpone these events will ensure that athletes can focus on their health and fitness, and preparedness for the rest of the 2020 Beach Volleyball Circuit.

 

Ramírez indicated that NORCECA will continue to work with the National Federations and the event organizers of the mentioned countries to find appropriate dates to reschedule those tournaments.
