As I'm sure you have heard, the MDHHS released an updated emergency order that goes into effect on Monday, Feb. 8, allowing winter contact sports to begin competition.

Although this is great news, there are several guidelines that must be followed.  

1.  Spectators will be limited to two (2) parents per athlete.  There are no exceptions and all schools will be following this protocol.  All tickets are $5 and when you check in at the ticket counter, indicate which athlete you are there to watch.  Again, only parents of athletes will be permitted to attend the contest.

2.  ALL participants and spectators MUST wear a face mask at all times.  If you are unable to follow this MDHSS guideline, please do not attend the event.

3.  Please practice social distancing and follow all safety measures to assure that our athletes can have an uninterrupted winter season.
