The Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) has announced the Girls Sub-State Volleyball Tournament assignments for 2020.
All KSHSAA postseason tournaments will see some changes made in order to follow best practices for risk mitigation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We appreciate the KSHSAA and NFHS Sports Medicine Advisory Committees and other Health Professionals providing important information as we make these changes. Our top priority is the health and well-being of our student athletes, coaches, officials, spectators and their families," KSHSAA noted.
Changes for the 2020 season
• There are 7 volleyball classifications in 2020 – 6A, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, 1ADI, 1ADII.
• All sub-states groups were done geographically. This change in classes 6A, 5A, and 4A was an attempt to keep travel to a minimum as best possible.
• The winners of all sub-states will play in a quarterfinal match on Oct. 27. The winner of this three-out-of-five-set match will advance to their classifications state tournament.
• State tournaments will be conducted on one day with each team playing five matches. State tournaments for 6A, 4A, 2A will be played on Oct. 30. Classes 5A, 3A, 1ADI and 1ADII will conduct their tournament on Oct. 31.
