IVREA

Play will be back on Saturday 12 February. It was when it was decided in the meeting held last Saturday, January 22, remotely between the club presidents and the Piedmontese regional committee of Fipav.

The championships involving Canavese teams, starting from Serie B, will stop until Saturday 6 February inclusive. Other important decisions: the period for being able to undergo a medical examination and return to training for the players who have been negative from positive has dropped from thirty days to seven. On the other hand, the line to swab all the players four hours before the game and before each training session did not pass.

The president of Canavese Ivrea volley (Serie C, group A), Letizia Paonessa, explains: «We will resume playing in the league, according to normal schedule with the last leg. The first four return matches that will be recovered at the end of the championship. We finish playing the regular season on Saturday 26 March and starting from that date, a match will be made up every Saturday. Those who postpone a match due to Covid-19 (it is sufficient there are four positive players and you can ask for the match to be postponed), the same will be recovered midweek, always at the end of the championship, no later than Saturday 23 April “. A very important change, decided on Saturday morning, concerns the change of protocol as regards the players affected by Covid-19 or who have been in contact with hatched: no more the month of forced stop and then a medical examination to be able to return to gym, but only a period of seven days before getting the ok from the doctor to resume training: “This novelty – comments Paonessa – allows you to accelerate the resumption of sporting activity”. Even Ezio Carazzato, president of Montalto Dora (group C of Serie C) says: “It was decided that it was impracticable for the clubs to be able to swab all the players four hours before the game and before each training session and now a alternative solution. When we resume playing, Saturday 12 February, they should also tell us if they will make changes to the playoff formula (the first four classified) and playout (the other seven teams in the groups) – says Carazzato – we are waiting to understand the new formula “.

In Serie D, the president of Fortitudo Chivasso, Ciro Perrucci explains: «We can’t wait to return to play in the league, it’s important to be done in total safety – Perrucci says -. I am happy that the rule of tampons before training and the match has not been approved, because it would have been something impossible to achieve especially for clubs like ours, which live on passion and have limited resources ». –
