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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
