Message from SOCSD & the Athletic Department
Tappan Zee High School will begin home contests this weekend for the interscholastic athletic program! Here are some things to know:
- Two spectators permitted per student athlete for home games only.
- The TZ Athletic Department requests that the names of the two spectators and their email addresses be sent to the team coach within 24 hours of the contest.
- Spectators will be sent a pre-screening form which must be completed before entry and will enable the Athletic Department to maintain a record of who was at the contest in the event that contact tracing information is needed.
- All spectators will be subject to a temperature check. Locations are as follows:
- Dutchmen Arena entrance for soccer and cross country events
- Tennis court parking lot for tennis matches.
- Masks must be worn at all times and spectators may only sit or stand in designated, marked areas to ensure social distancing.
- Bathrooms access will be available at the outdoor fieldhouse only.
The TZ Athletic Department will allow parents/guardians to drive their own children to and from away contests, if necessary. The protocol is for the parent/guardian to email the coach and Athletic Director Bill Pilla (wpilla@socsd.org) with the request. Parents/guardians who wish to have their student athlete drive themselves must refer to the revised Transportation section of the Athletics Handbook and submit the Student Athlete Self-Transportation Request Form.
As per Section 1, our governing body, no away fans are allowed at this time to Section 1 sporting events. If you are driving your child to an away game, please keep in mind you will not be allowed to stay at the contest. View the Section 1 news release here.
Please contact Athletic Director Bill Pilla with questions at wpilla@socsd.org or (845) 680-1640.
