Winter Sports Spectator Protocol Details

We all have missed the roar of the crowd at our CHS Athletics contests so far this year.  Unfortunately, the quiet of the crowd will continue through the winter season as we meet all state, league and local protocols. We understand this is a big loss for many families. We thank you for your understanding as we strive to keep our seasons going and keep all involved healthy. 

Below are details of our Spectator Protocols for the winter season:

Swimming and Gymnastics Meets- 

• Neither Blue Hills Regional nor Metro South Gymnastics Academy are allowing spectators at their venues for our competitions so unfortunately, no spectators will be allowed to attend. This includes parents and other family members.  
• Streaming the action- We will be doing our best to have somebody live stream as much action as possible from these meets. If a parent of a Bulldog swimmer and a Bulldog gymnast is interested in using their phone to livestream any of these events for us, please contact the CHS Athletic Office- ericksond@cantonma.org.

Ice Hockey and Basketball Games- 

• Only immediate family members (from the same household) may attend our home games- Hockey at Metropolis Rink and Basketball at CHS. 
• We need to average as close to 2 spectators per student athlete as is possible. 
• Bulldog spectators will NOT be allowed admittance at our AWAY contests. This include parents and other immediate family members. 
• Gates will open 15 minutes prior to the start of the game. We will not admit any fans into the venues prior to this time. If you arrive early please remain in your car until that point. 
• Family members attending one game of a double or triple- header will be asked to leave the facility at the conclusion of the game they are there to watch. We will be clearing the gym/rink of all spectators in between each game. 
• Fans will be asked to leave the facility immediately after the contest is over. Student athletes will follow closely behind. 
• ALL in attendance must fill out our CHS Athletics/Spectator Self Screener prior to attending each game and must check in at our check-in table each game for contact tracing purposes. 
• Family members attending a game must wear a mask at all times and must socially distance from other families.  
• Streaming the action- Thanks to the support of the CHS Athletic Booster Club, we will be live streaming our home VARSITY hockey and basketball games. We also anticipate that most of our away games will be live streamed as well.  Details on how to watch will be updated throughout the season on this blog. 

Thank you again for your cooperation with these challenging protocols as we continue navigating high school sports during this pandemic.
