"Athletic events are much more than just competitions; they are significant community gatherings that can draw large crowds and high energy," the organization states. "While we hope for a safe environment, it’s crucial for school teams to be prepared for the potential security threats that these events can attract. Traditional security and emergency response plans, while important, may not address the unique challenges presented by crowd sizes and nuances of athletic venues."
