“We are pleased to be able to offer family members and friends the opportunity to see these excellent student-athletes perform, and to always have protocols in place to help protect everyone’s health and safety,” said Director of Education JoAnna Roberto said in a press release.
The plan, which goes into effect on November 8, will see two tickets provided to each student-athlete.
People attending events with the ticket must be double vaccinated, wear masks and be seated at least two meters away from all people outside their homes.
Tickets will be signed and dated by the coach of each team.
The board noted that its plan could change based on COVID-19 numbers.
