MEC Fan Guidelines: Winter 2020

Midland Empire Conference

Fan Guidelines

Winter 2020-21

Updated November 20, 2020 

In an effort to provide the opportunity for students to participate in activities and create the safest environment for our students and their families, the MEC Board of Control has implemented the following guidelines for attendance at all activities at  member schools for the Winter activities season: 

• Attendance will be limited to 2 family members per participant. Both home and visiting schools will have a pass list for each participant at the gate.  Individual students will not be admitted unless they are family members on the pass list. 

• Fans (including any family members that are students) will be expected to sit with their families and maintain social distancing from other fans. There will be no student section

Face coverings will be required at all events for anyone not actively participating in the contest. This includes coaches and players on the bench. 

Wrestling tournaments will not have spectators due to space limitations with multiple teams. Non-tournaments will follow regular guidelines. 

Dance teams will be allowed to perform and attend home events and up to  2 family members will be admitted as well. Dance teams and spectators should only attend during performances and exit after the performance.  There will be no pep band. 

Cheerleaders will be allowed at home events and will be allowed 2 family members per participant. 

The goal of the MEC Board of Control is to take as many precautions as possible to provide these opportunities for our students. Additionally, it is the goal of the Board of Control to create an opportunity for families to attend these events in person. These guidelines are subject to modification based upon directives and recommendations from health care professionals. Your cooperation is appreciated.
