With the return to more normal crowds for high school sports, local schools anticipate a great deal of community support as athletes return to competition. Pella High Activities Director Matt Fouch says family passes and punch cards are available for sale in the activities office at the east entrance of the high school, providing additional value instead of paying standard gate fees for every event.

Football entry is $6 this coming year and all other non-postseason athletics are five dollars regardless of level, and a 20-punch card is $80 from the Pella High School Activities Department. That 20 entry pass is half-price for senior citizens as well. Student activity passes are $55 and family passes are available for $250, regardless of household size.

Those who can’t make it to the field or gym this academic year can hear Dutch athletics live on 92.1 KRLS and watch on the Pella Dutch Live YouTube channel.
