Waterford Athletics Event Spectator Expectations and Guidelines

The 2022-2023 athletic competitions are underway! We appreciate our school and community support at our athletic events, and hope you enjoy coming out to support our teams! Our goal is to have these events run as smoothly as possible, so they can be welcoming and pleasant for all who attend. As such, our students and spectators will be asked to follow the updated event guidelines below:

1. Student ID or a State Issued Picture ID are required by all attendees, except for
   elementary and children not yet of school age. Attendees will likely be asked to show an
   ID upon admission.
2. Middle school-aged students will be asked to show an ID and must be accompanied by
   an adult who is attending the event and remaining at the event for its entirety. The adult
   is responsible for the students who are in accompaniment for the duration of the event.
   Middle school students will be turned away at the entrance if they are not accompanied
   by an adult. Middle school students should remain in the immediate proximity of their
   accompanying adult at all times.
3. All students are expected to follow the regulations outlined in the Waterford School
   District Code of Conduct.
4. For stadium events- all spectators should remain seated in the bleachers keeping the
   courtyard near the concessions and bathrooms free from congestion. Spectators will be
   asked to sit in the bleachers or exit the stadium when not in line for concessions or the
   bathroom.
5. Backpacks, bags, large purses, etc, larger than 6x4 inches, are not allowed; with the
   exception of a diaper bag when accompanied by small children, which would be subject
   to search. Footballs, other objects that can be thrown, open drinks, and any food, are
   prohibited from all events. Pets are also prohibited.
6. Once you exit the event, you will not be permitted to return.
7. Spectators should gather their belongings and exit the facilities within 15 minutes after
   any event. Our facilities will be closed and locked 30 minutes after the completion of any
   event.
8. Refusal to show an ID when requested by any staff member, or failure to follow any
   other staff directives, will result in immediate removal from the event, and additional
   consequences will follow.
