GMC Announces Event Protocols

2020-2021 Green Meadows Conference COVID-19 Event Protocols

Tickets:  All varsity events will cost $6.  The Green Meadows Conference will be limiting attendance to events in order to follow the order released on Wednesday, August 19, 2020 by the Ohio Department of Health and Governor DeWine.  All member schools will follow the protocols listed below.  The GMC will promote an environment that allows student participants and spectators to safely distance from one another.  In order to achieve this, the conference will offer ticket sales to our athletes and participants.  It is imperative to limit attendance to 15% (or less) in our athletic facilities.  These regulations will also apply to all non-conference events hosted by GMC schools.

All tickets will cost $6.  There will be no tickets sold at the gate.  Gates will open at 6:15 (45 minutes prior to the start of the contest). 

Each school will provide a game day roster for those athletes and participants to be admitted.  That roster will include: coaches, video and stat personnel, and essential personnel, including district administrators.

Junior Varsity Football:  Ticket sales will be available at the gate on the day of the contest. While waiting, spectators should appropriately distance themselves to avoid a line or crowd. Tickets will cost $4 for adults, $2 for students.
