With the winter sports season less than a week away, Central College will largely prohibit spectator attendance at athletic events.

For men’s and women’s basketball, each student-athlete will receive passes for two immediate family members, or four passes for split families. For the lone home wrestling meet, Athletic Director Eric Van Kley anticipates that 20-25 spectators may be allowed, but no decision will be made until the date approaches. Because of seating limitations in H.S. Kuyper Fieldhouse, no spectators will be permitted for Central’s home men’s and women’s indoor track and field competitions.

No students, staff or fans will be allowed to attend other than event management personnel. Masks will be required for everyone except the participating student-athletes on the floor and social distancing measures will be enforced. Van Kley emphasizes that attendance policies are subject to change at any point and that the competition schedules remain tentative as well.

The season begins on Saturday, January 23rd. All Saturday home basketball games will air on 92.1 KRLS. Find the complete winter sports schedule here.
