BANNER ELK, N.C. – The Lees-McRae Athletic Department has announced updated attendance policies for its indoor and outdoor venues, allowing immediate family members of student-athletes to join Lees-McRae students, faculty, and staff at athletic competitions. These revisions to the attendance policies are in accordance with similar changes to the overall Lees-McRae College policies regarding attendance at college-sponsored events.
All spectators in attendance, especially for events in the Williams Gymnasium, must observe social distancing guidelines and are required to wear a face-covering that covers both the nose and mouth at all times. If you or someone in your close proximity is experiencing symptoms within 24 hours of your arrival to Lees-McRae, we ask that you watch the live stream of the contest, on the Conference Carolinas Digital Network, from the comfort of your house.
"I would like to applaud our student-athletes and our staff members who have worked hard over the past couple of weeks to stay healthy, increase our overall vaccination rate, and follow the campus guidelines in order to enable us to play and practice without much interruption," said Vice President for Athletics and Club Sports
Craig McPhail. "Protecting our students has been and will be our top concern and providing them with the opportunity to compete is important to us."
Attendance policies for all road contest against conference and non-conference opponents will be at the discretion of the host institution. Fans are encouraged to check with the host institution for any restrictions on attendance. To view the composite schedule for all athletic events, click
