How UTA Athletics is protecting its volleyball players, staff and fans during the 2020 season

When the volleyball team released its schedule last Thursday, the UTA athletic department announced that fans would be restricted from College Park Center.

Keeping everyone within the department safe is the main priority for athletic director Jim Baker. He and the rest of his staff came together to create safety protocols for their athletes and the people around them.

“We have a cleaning crew come at night, we wipe everything down, we made our footprint smaller,” Baker said. “They don’t take showers, they don’t get dressed here, they come and do the workouts in small groups, and then they leave.
