Below is a list of all rules and expectations of our spectators, please read them carefully. 1. We encourage students to attend as many school events as possible. Enthusiastic spectators help to build school spirit and encourage our Athletes. However, in order to ensure that everyone attending is properly safeguarded, it is required that all elementary and middle school students be accompanied by a parent or adult chaperone when they arrive at the event and throughout its duration. They cannot be dropped off and left unsupervised and there are no exceptions. 2. We will only allow HS students from the schools that are competing and they must show a current student ID to enter! 3. No Footballs (or balls of any type) are allowed in the stadium. 4. Please supervise any children in your care. Children should not be running unattended through facilities. 5. Fighting will not be tolerated and all actions will be enforced with school disciplinary consequences. 6. Spectators are expected to demonstrate good sportsmanship and refrain from being physically or verbally abusive toward all coaches, officials, athletes, opposing schools, and fans while attending athletic events. Attending Athletic events is a privilege that may be temporarily or permanently revoked 7. Any beverages brought into the stadium must be in a store brand, re-sealable container. No fountain drinks or containers from home are allowed. You will be asked to throw it away or return it to your car. 8. Backpacks will not be allowed in the stadium.
