BVU Director of Athletics Jack Denholm notes that coaches will continue to communicate with their Beaver student-athletes in preparation for the upcoming academic year, which include plans to play football, volleyball, and men’s and women’s soccer in the spring.
BVU Athletics will soon explore creative methods of bringing athletes of contact sports together throughout the semester to connect with their teammates and coaches as they continue to hone skills related to leadership, teamwork, and their specific sport.
Much of what happens, Denholm says, depends on our ongoing mitigation efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19.
“Naturally, our coaches and student-athletes want to compete and represent BVU on the court and field of play. And while it is difficult in the short term to accept that, playing right now isn’t likely the proper course of action. We realize that postponing contact sports this fall is the right thing to do, and we look forward to supporting our athletes in the coming months in preparation for spring competition.”
