BAA Statement on COVID -19

BAA COVID-19 Update 7/21/2020

The Bloomington Athletic Association (BAA) is committed to protecting the health and safety of our sports families and the broader community. We are closely monitoring Bloomington Public Schools BPS and the City of Bloomington for our planning and preparation for COVID-19/Coronavirus and will be following their lead on decisions to cancel activities.

COVID-19 Social Distancing Policy for all BAA Sports until further notice (7/20/2020): ALL BAA Volunteers working with players (coaches, assistant coaches, volunteers organizing kids, umpires, etc) will be required to wear a face mask at all times while at the field with parents, guardians and/or players present. This is a change from our original guideline stating face masks were strongly encouraged, but not required for Coaches.

Taking this action will minimize the effect to the BAA teams if a coach was exposed to other people that had been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Sport Specific policies can be found on the Sports Page on our site.

The Bloomington Athletic Association (BAA) is committed to protecting the health and safety of our sports families and the broader community. We continue to follow all CDC guidelines and are closely monitoring Bloomington Public Schools (BPS) mitigation activities for COVID-19/Coronavirus and will continue to follow their lead on guidelines for hosting sporting activities.

We encourage all volunteers, families, and players to utilize recommended precautions to minimize the risk of spreading the virus. If you have any immediate questions regarding the upcoming season, please feel free to e-mail Stephanie Nicholson at baaonline1954@gmail.com or call at 952.373.1563.

The more help we get, the more the players play, because we can keep the teams smaller.

Cubs (3rd-5th Grade)

In the cub league, there are 6 team members on a side, with approximately 8 players per team. A player can serve a maximum of 4 points in a row, at which time the serve rotates to the next player. There is a city-wide tournament at the end of the season.

Rule clarification:

  1. Rule clarification:

    We are moving the serving line up 10’ and overhand serving is encouraged. There should already be a mark on the court at the 10’ line. Foot-faults at this line should be called. We have moved this line up to enable more play and to encourage overhand serving. As a player progresses in skill, they should be encouraged to move further back for their serves. Only the server may touch the ball before it crosses the net into play.

Midgets (6th-8th Grade)

In the midget league, athletes play 6 on a side, with approximately 8 players per team. A player can serve a maximum of 4 points in a row, at which point the serve rotates to the next player.  There is a city-wide tournament at the end of the season.

Co-Rec (9th-12th Grade)

In the Bantam league, girls/boys play 6 to a side, with approximately 8 players per team. A player can serve a maximum of 4 points in a row, at which point the serve rotates to the next player. Teams will rotate players so that it is girl then boy vs two boys playing next to each other.  There is a city-wide tournament at the end of the season.

Who we are:

 Carri Sampson-Spande  –  BAA Volleyball Commissioner

I signed my kids up for BAA sports when I moved to Bloomington in 2013. I find that community athletic leagues are a great way for the kids to make friends before starting a new school. I was asked to coach my daughter’s BAA volleyball team and thought it a great mistake. I’m not athletic! However, I really loved the program, being part of my daughter’s team and memories, and ended up helping out as the volleyball commissioner. BAA is a great organization and I’m proud to be a part of it.

  Mandy Geyen – BAA Volleyball Cubs Director (grades 3 – 5)

My Name is Mandy Geyen, I have 2 children who love to play in BAA activities.  We have been apart of the Bloomington Community since 2006. I am excited to start my adventures as a Cub level director for BAA Volleyball. I look forward to meeting you and your family.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
