The trainers will use the SCAT 3 test to evaluate any possible concussion. If a concussion is suspected, the athlete will not be able to return to play and the player’s coaching staff on site will be notified.

Site Administrators are not needed or allowed on the field since the host will handle security. We do ask that the fans and teams behave accordingly.

Each team will be given ONE sideline pass to be used by your Team Photographer or Videographer. This pass will be distributed to the team at check-in. The designated team photographer will be allowed on the fan side sideline five yards from the sideline and not beyond goal-line extended. All other photographers may take pictures from the stands, but please be aware that standing at the front railing affects the view of those that are seated behind you. The field of play will not be accessible after the final games for personal photos. The teams will be encouraged to move off the fields where they will be accessible for family photos.

Who should I contact for a Media Pass?

Media passes are restricted to actual media representatives and are not intended for use by commercial photographers. Agreement not to resell photographs taken under the use of a Media Pass will be required.

What happens if there is inclement weather?

Stadiums have an all-weather surface, and games will not be called on account of the weather. Bring rain gear.
The Coppell Parks and Recreation Department operates a lightning prediction system at the stadium. This system is designed to alert users that the conditions are favorable for lightning strikes. When the system detects the potential for a lightning strike, the air horns sound an uninterrupted 15-second blast, and the strobe light will activate. Patrons who hear the horn and/or see the light need to seek shelter immediately. When the system no longer detects a threat, three 5-second blasts from the horn will sound and the strobe light will stop working. This is the signal that it is safe to return outdoors.

Will there be Concessions and food vendors at the tournament?

Food and beverages will be available for sale in the concession area of the stadium. A variety of lunch items, snacks and drinks will be offered both days. We will take cash and Venmo only at the concession stand. A food vender will also be on hand selling food and drinks.
