THURSDAY NIGHT VARSITY FOOTBALL GAME

Spartan Varsity Football takes on the Oakton High School Cougars tonight, September 14th, 7pm at home. We want to provide the following reminders to our football fans and community ahead of the game as well as issue guidance for sportsmanship and decorum for those attending.  

We are so excited with the start of our Fall Sports season. Thank you to everyone who attended our first home football game last Friday night. Just a few reminders moving forward to help our staff and community enjoy our events:

  1. We have an increase in student enrollment this school year, which means a bigger Student Section. Our students do stand for the majority of the game so we will have two designated standing sections for watching the game. They will be designated with signs at the top of each section.
  2. Middle School students must be accompanied by an adult.
  3. Please do not bring in outside food or drinks.
  4. No balls, backpacks, skateboards or any sports equipment will be permitted—please leave these items in your car.
  5. Please represent our community with the utmost respect and integrity, we want people to enjoy coming to our Spartan events.

Thank you for your support!

THURSDAY NIGHT LIGHTS – September 14

The theme for this game is WESTERN OUT.

If you don’t have Spartan spirit wear, don’t worry -- the Booster Club will have plenty for sale!

The cost of all Varsity Football games is $5.00 for students and adults. 

To avoid long lines, we strongly encourage you to purchase your tickets before the game, through our etix website.  

If you or your student plan to attend a home game, please take the time to discuss the relevant information below:

  • Our goal is to create a positive community event. Any behaviors that take away from this goal may result in removal from the game.

  • All elementary and middle school students need to be accompanied and supervised by an adult while at the game.

  • High school students who get dropped off must plan to have their rides waiting for them at the conclusion of the game. 

  • No backpacks or other bags will be allowed in the stadium. 

  • No outside food or drinks are allowed. The concession stand will be open.
  • The purpose for students who attend our varsity football games is to watch the game, cheerleaders, band, and dance team.
  • We cheer for our team and not against our opponent. All cheers should be positive.
  • The gates to the stadium will open at 6:15pm.
  • Whistles, air horns and similar noisemakers are prohibited.
  • If you leave the game, you will not be able to re-enter the stadium.
  • All students need to leave immediately following the game.

  • After the game, there will be NO STUDENT PICK-UP at Tuttle Road.  Please use the Kiss & Ride Entrance off of Rolling Road to pick up your student. This will eliminate traffic issues at the conclusion of the game and allow us to empty the parking lot faster.
