Lampeter-Strasburg Senior High School issued the following announcement.
We are happy to announce that the 2020 Pioneer fall sports season officially began on Friday, September 4. Practices are underway and scrimmages begin this weekend. For the safety of athletes, staff, fans, and our community, events will follow the guidelines laid out in the District’s Athletics Health and Safety Plan, as well as plans from the CDC and the PA Department of Health. We are also working in partnership with Wellspan Family & Sports Medicine and the Lancaster-Lebanon Athletic Association (the L-L League) for the upcoming season.
We ask that everyone review and follow the regulations below so that student athletes can safely compete for the full season. We need everyone’s help because . . . Kids come first. We ARE L-S. We ARE family. We are ALL in this together!
Indoor Events
- No more than 25 people may attend an indoor event. This includes athletes, coaches, media, and staff.
- Because of this, no spectators will be allowed at indoor events.
- Any person who is not actively engaged in competition must wear a face covering (i.e. mask, face shield) at all times.
- No more than 250 people may attend an outdoor event. This includes athletes, coaches, staff, media, and spectators.
- Any person who is not actively engaged in competition must wear a face covering (i.e. mask, face shield) whenever distancing of at least six feet is not possible. This is mandatory in accordance with the District’s health and safety plan. Anyone who refuses to wear a face covering and/or socially distance will be asked to leave the athletic venue.
- When attendance approaches 250, preference will be given to athletes’ immediate family members.
- At varsity field hockey, boys and girls soccer, and football games, spectators will only be admitted with original passes made by the athletic department. Student athletes will receive 1-3 passes prior to each event.
- There will be no entrance fees or concessions during the 2020 fall sports season.
- In addition to the above rules for outdoor events, no visiting team spectators will be permitted at any L-L League football games.
- The cheerleaders and marching band will participate at home games only.
- All JV and varsity events in the stadium and the L-S High School competition gym will be live streamed on the new L-S Athletics YouTube channel. Other districts in the L-L League also will be live streaming games when possible.
- Other school districts may have other rules in place. Please be sure you understand the rules at other school district’s events should you choose to be a spectator at an away event when permitted.
- Lampeter-Strasburg School District is aware of legislation currently being discussed at the state level which could alter our current plans. If this legislation passes, we will update our plans accordingly, following all orders, mandates and guidance to continue to ensure the health and safety of everyone involved. Please understand that any change will take some time and planning to achieve. In the meantime, these are the rules for participation in any of these events. We ask for your patience, grace and cooperation should changes need to be made.
