thletic events bring our Spartanburg One community together to support our student-athletes. We want everyone attending our games to have a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable experience. To help ensure the safety of our students, families, and guests, the following guidelines are in place for athletic events.

Clear Bag Policy

Spartanburg School District One has a clear bag policy for all middle and high school athletic events. Diaper bags, coolers, camera bags, and other non-approved bags are not permitted.

Approved Bags:

  • Clear tote bags no larger than 12 x 6 x 12 inches

  • Clear plastic bags no larger than one gallon

  • Small clutch purses no larger than 4.5 x 6.5 inches

  • Logos on clear bags may not exceed 4.5 x 3.4 inches

Additional Permitted Items:

  • Medically necessary items (subject to inspection at the entrance)

  • Keys, wallets, phones, credit cards, and cash carried in pockets or by hand

  • Seat cushions without pockets, zippers, compartments, or covers

  • Umbrellas

  • Clear rain ponchos

Outside Food and Beverages

Outside food and beverages are not permitted at athletic events. This includes reusable drink containers such as Yeti and Stanley cups.

Exceptions will be made for medical needs. Guests requiring an exception should notify staff at the entrance for assistance.

Student and Child Supervision

All elementary and middle school students must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian when attending high school athletic events.

Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their children throughout the event.

Spectator Areas

To maintain a safe and orderly environment, spectators are expected to remain in designated seating areas during games.

Standing, gathering, or hanging out underneath the bleachers or around concession stands is not permitted.

Spectators may leave their seats to visit restrooms or concession stands but should return to their seating areas afterward.

No Re-Entry

Once a guest enters an athletic event, re-entry will not be permitted if the guest chooses to leave.
