Spectators At Central Bucks Fall Sports: Here Are The Rules

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Central Bucks School District will allow spectators at some fall athletic events starting Sept. 28.

The district on Wednesday released the rules for spectators, which were created to comply with PIAA rules and commonwealth guidelines.

"We will continue to monitor commonwealth regulations, adjust our procedures accordingly, and inform our community when changes are made," the district said in an email to the school community.

Here are the rules, according to the district;

• Spectators will be allowed at tennis, golf, field hockey, soccer, cross country, football (marching band and cheerleading), and volleyball events. Athletes will receive two athletic game passes per family to allow entry into the extra-curricular event.
• Everyone attending the sporting event, including coaches, officials, athletes on the sidelines, staff, and spectators (age 2 and older) must wear face coverings.
• Attendance at any event is subject to appropriate behavior and adherence to CBSD athletic and districtwide health and safety plans. Anyone who refuses to adhere to guidelines will be asked to leave.
• Spectators must stay at least 6 feet away from each other as well as the players, and coaches.
• Spectators should stay at least 10 feet from the sidelines, and follow all other directions given by the venue.
• Issued game passes must be carried at all times. Everyone attending, regardless of age, needs to have a game pass. No exceptions will be made regarding the number of game passes given to each athlete. The game passes issued are good for the fall sport that your child plays.
• Concession stands will not be open.
• Sales or promotion of any kind will be prohibited.
• There will be no charge to enter the events at this time.
• Spectators may be screened for symptoms and temperature checked upon arrival.
• While spectators will be able to attend events starting on Sep. 28 exceptions will be made for our golf/tennis teams whose regular season is over by that date. Building athletic directors will communicate directly with these teams.
