Please read our Athletic Spectator Policy for Spring 2021

Dear Andover students and families, We are excited to share promising news regarding community health and campus guests. As documented in our weekly health updates and on our dashboard, we continue to adjust campus activities and policies based on the risk level of virus transmission. We have had very few community members in isolation or quarantine, and we are preparing for our campus to be in the lower risk (yellow) zone soon. With this good data, we are in a position to invite spectators, in a controlled fashion, to campus—starting this weekend, April 24. We are thrilled to welcome up to two family members (maximum) of our Andover student-athletes to the sidelines of outdoor, on-campus home contests as of April 24. Unfortunately, we are unable to welcome family members to our indoor volleyball games or crew races. In order to keep our community safe and allow for this policy to continue through spring term, we require that all spectators abide by the following guidelines: No more than two family members per student-athlete.  Arrive to the “field” no sooner than 10 minutes before game start time. Please sit/stand in the designated area for family-member spectators ONLY.  Andover students will be in a distinct “student fan-area” separate from family-member spectators.  Family member spectators must wear a yellow lanyard viewable at all times provided to them by Athletic Department personnel.   All spectators must remain masked at all times with mask fully covering mouth and nose regardless of vaccination status.  Spectators must remain at the game of the respective child and cannot move from game to game.  All spectators must abide by the Academy's physical distancing guidelines with non-family members at all times.  All spectators must remain outside at all times and may not enter any buildings. Port-a-potties will be located near all outdoor fields. Upon completion of a game, we ask that spectators return promptly to cars – no tailgates/parking lot gatherings permitted.  It is exciting to see our student-athletes thriving in spring competition. They, and we, look forward to your enthusiastic support of Andover Athletics. Go Big Blue!   Thank you,   Lisa Joel Director of Athletics Amy Patel, MD Medical Director Jenny Karlen Elliott ’94, P’22, P’24 Assistant Head of School for Residential Life Dean of Students Phillips Academy 180 Main St. Andover, MA 01810 You received this message because you are a valued member of the Andover community.
