Varsity Spirit's In-Person Events - Baseline Safety Standards

Varsity Spirit’s baseline safety standards include:

  • Varsity Spirit employees and personnel are required to wear face coverings at all times, regardless of vaccination status. Masks must completely cover the nose and mouth. Face shields are not considered masks and may only be worn in addition to masks.
    • Spectators, athletes and coaches may be required to wear face coverings based on CDC, federal, state, local or venue guidance.
    • Coaches will be required to wear masks in certain areas and when speaking with Varsity personnel (at registration check-in, warm-up area check-in, first aid, Accuscore, etc.)
  • Physical distancing protocols will be in place and enforced throughout the venue. We encourage your teams to remain in cohorts and avoid close interactions with those outside of your group.
  • Increased sanitization measures throughout venues, including enhanced cleaning protocols, hand sanitization stations and more frequent cleaning of performance surfaces.
  • Additional protocols, such as those below, may be required based on CDC, federal, state, local, or venue guidance:
    • Temperature checks for admission
    • Proof of vaccination status and/or negative COVID test result
    • Managed traffic flow measures and signs
    • Capacity limitations
    • Masks required for all attendees
  • All attendees (including coaches, athletes, spectators, and staff) will be asked to monitor their own health prior to attending an event and follow the CDC guidelines for protecting themselves and others.
  • Advisors/Coaches will be asked to review the Varsity Spirit Competition COVID Rules with anyone who is attending the event (coaches, athletes and spectators)

Helpful links for additional information:

As part of our commitment to safety, our goal is to assist with providing information of possible exposure to those that may have attended an event where someone tested positive. Close contact will be determined utilizing the CDC definition: a close contact is anyone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period (for example, three individual 5-minute exposures for a total of 15 minutes). Following the event, please use this link to report any COVID-19 positive cases that occur within 5 days of the event.

You can trust Varsity Spirit to lead the way in bringing back events safely. If you have additional questions regarding your specific event, we are here to help. We hope to see you soon and thank you for being part of our Varsity Spirit Family.
