Letting adults on the field or playing area prior to and after games can spell problems. Announcers who like to do a running commentary can be an irritant to opponents. When playing an important game be aware of heightened emotions. Even though the two schools have played before with no problems, a new atmosphere could be present for a game with the district title on the line. Always communicate with opposing school authorities prior to game day to discuss student bus parking, arrival times, number of seats needed for support units, exit areas, traffic patterns or any other situation that may cause problems or duress during the activity.
Good information can prevent delays and misunderstandings.
Expect the same courtesy when you are the visiting school. Develop a procedural manual for all your personnel. Be sure all school employees, paid and volunteer workers have a copy. Be prepared for emergencies such as inclement weather, power failures, fire and other unforeseen calamities. You will be ahead of any eventuality if you have a good contingency plan.
