CENTRAL FOOTBALL SIDELINE PROTOCOL
To our Central Football fans, parents, alumni, and supporters:
As we begin another football season, we want to communicate our game-day sideline policy and ask for your help in providing the safest and best possible experience for our players.
Only essential game-day personnel will be permitted on the Central High School sideline.** This includes:
* Players
* Coaching staff
* Medical staff
* Essential support personnel
We are incredibly grateful for the passion surrounding Central Football. We are especially proud of the former Wildcats who wore this uniform, represented this community, and helped build the tradition our young men get to carry forward today. Unfortunately,
This policy is not intended to exclude anyone. It is in place to **maximize player safety, maintain an organized game-day environment, and protect the football experience of the young men currently wearing CENTRAL across their chest.**
Unfortunately, it is simply impossible to accommodate every Central High School football alumnus on the sideline alongside our current team. We are incredibly proud of the men who have worn the Central uniform and helped build the tradition we enjoy today. But just as previous generations had their opportunity to experience Friday nights as Wildcats, **this is now our current players’ turn.** We want to protect that experience for them while providing the safest and most organized game-day environment possible.
We ask our parents, alumni, fans, and entire Central community to respect and support this policy throughout the season.
Fill the stands. Be loud. Be proud. Support these young men with everything you've got.
Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your continued commitment to Central Football.
