Home and visiting spectators will need to purchase tickets at their respective schools prior to arriving at the game. There will be no tickets sold at the gate.
*All other sports will present a voucher at the gate and pay at the gate. If you do not have a voucher you will not be admitted.
* Soccer and volleyball seating will be determined based on seating capacity. This information will be shared with the visiting schools in advance of game day.
* Visiting schools will provide game day rosters for those to be admitted at the pass gate. This includes coaches, video personnel, stat personnel, and district administrators.
*Bands will only be permitted at home games
* No passes will be allowed. This includes NWC or league passes, local district passes, senior passes, or NWC lifetime passes.
