Gresham’s volleyball team and co-op soccer team with Bowler had their seasons postponed when the Gresham School District announced it was going virtual.

Because of the school’s timeframe to reopen, the volleyball and boys soccer team’s seasons won’t resume this fall.

While in its virtual format, no practices or sporting events were going to be allowed at Gresham. The district plans on being virtual until at least Oct. 12, so the volleyball and boys soccer teams would only have one week to play games before postseason play starts.

Jeff Zobeck, Gresham’s athletic director, said the volleyball and boys soccer teams would explore the option of moving their seasons to the alternative fall season in the springtime.

At this time, Gresham’s plans for its football and cross-country co-ops with Bowler are still up in the air.

The football co-op plays its home games at Bowler High School. “If our families of our kids want them to continue, we’ll have that discussion,” said Zobeck.

The reason the boys soccer co-op season was shut down was because home games are played in Gresham.

The cross-country team had one meet scheduled in Gresham, but that was cancelled. All the co-ops other meets are outside Gresham.
