NJSIAA Indoor/Outdoor Spectator Guidelines
The COVID-19 Spring Guidelines will be updated to reflect the new guidelines for outdoor sports activities per Executive Order No. 234 (2021) - below is the updated language.EO 234 can be found via this link for your reference: https://nj.gov/infobank/eo/056murphy/pdf/EO-234.pdf Capacity Limits / Spectators – Pursuant to Executive Order No. 230 (2021) and No. 234 (2021), sports activities are currently subject to the following restrictions:
Indoors (Executive Order No. 230):
- Indoor practices and competitions are limited to 25 persons.
- If the number of individuals who are necessary for the practice or competition, such as players, coaches, referees and two parents/guardians per participating athlete, is greater than 25 persons, then the practice or competition may proceed.
- If the above exception applies, the number of individuals still may not exceed 35% of capacity of the room in which it takes place, or 150 persons, whichever is less.
- Currently, this Executive Order prohibits spectators beyond two parents/guardians at indoor sports activities.
Outdoors (Executive Order No. 234):
- All athletic practices and competitions conducted outdoors are subject to the outdoor gathering limit of 200 persons.
- Athletes, coaches, referees, trainers and other individuals who are necessary for the practice or competition are not included in the 200 persons gathering limit.
- Under the Order, parents/guardians are not “necessary for the event” for outdoor events, and therefore should be calculated in the 200 person limit.
Should either Executive Order be amended, then we will notify member schools and update these guidelines as appropriate.
