UDHS Athletic Event Procedures
UDHS Athletic Event Procedures 24-25
Athletic Office Update 10/2/24
Dear Upper Darby Families and Football Spectators,
To improve the efficiency of our post-game procedures and ensure a smooth exit from campus, we have implemented a new plan for after-football games. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as we work to make these transitions seamless.
Here’s how the new procedure will work:
- Security Measures:
- Driveway Barrier: Security will block off the driveway behind the stadium to prevent pedestrian traffic beyond this point.
- Front of Gym: Three security guards will be stationed at the front of the gym to manage student and spectator flow.
- Team Exit:
- Field Exit: The football team and coaches will use the snack bar steps to leave the field.
- Building Entry: The team will enter the building through the wrestling room doors to access the locker room.
- Post-Game Dismissal:
- Student-Athletes: After changing into the locker room, student-athletes will exit through the front gym doors where families and spectators can meet them.
- Coaching Staff: Coaches will remain with the student-athletes until all have been picked up. Once every player has left, coaches will exit through the side door near the Gym D doors and will drive around the back of the building to exit through the PAC parking lot.
For Families and Spectators:
- Please pick up your student-athletes at the front gym doors. This will ensure that there are no delays or congestion around the stadium's main entrance.
- It is imperative that we clear the sidelot as well as the stadium as soon as the game is over.
By following these guidelines, we aim to reduce congestion and facilitate a quicker and more organized departure for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Russell Benditt
Athletic Director
