Once a student enters, they may not leave and reenter unless they are accompanied by an adult. 3. Elementary, Junior High, and High School students are expected to be seated for the majority of the game. 4. No throwing of any object is permitted. Objects will be confiscated. 5. Skateboards and bikes are not allowed inside of the gates. 6. All school rules apply at any school event. 7. Failure to comply with the above expectations will result in students being removed from the game and/or parent/guardian contact. 8. NO LOITERING in or around the concession stand area, behind the bleachers or restroom areas.

Important online registration update: Thank you all for notifying us about the recurring payment issue within Teacherease. At this time, we ask that you only try paying once for your registration, even if you receive an error. Registration is still open and active; we ask that you try to pay once and report if you receive an error. This gives Teacherease time to resolve the processing errors and allows us to work with them to solidify previous errors. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve these issues.
