PACKING INFORMATION:

 

Please be sure to have all of your uniform items including the blue warm-ups & blue practice-T-shirt.  We want to look like a team in everything we do as this is done by the majority of the teams participating.  Please refer to the list of what to bring that is in your blue Tournament Information Packet given out early on in the season.  Please check closely as we want players to have all of their items this trip.

 

You should pack your entire team uniform in your back pack/team bag and have this as one of your carry-on items.  If you check your team uniform you run the risk of the airline losing your bag and you not being able to play until you get your bag from the airport.   We suggest that you pack in your carry-on bags any medications you will also need.

We are traveling as a team in the team van.  We will park the van outside the URI ice rink.  For those who are new, the ice rink is on the left immediately after the tennis courts.  The van is a large 15 passenger van.  We will leave promptly at 2pm on Friday January 12th.  Please arrive 10 minutes early so that we can load up the van.  There are restrooms in the ice rink and we suggest you use them prior to our departure.  The trip should take 5 hours without stopping.  We will stop for dinner along the way.  You have already paid for your meals for the entire weekend through your tuition, so there is no need to bring money for food.  We have also included enough money to provide snacks, waters & gatorades for the team throughout the weekend as well.  Once we arrive at the hotel, we will have a snack in the hotel, possibly pizza as a team. 
 

We are limited with space on the van and are requiring that players only bring their team duffle bag and team back pack.  You can bring a pillow and blanket.  You can pack your schoolwork in your backpack until we arrive at the hotel, and the rest of your clothing and uniform items in your duffle bag.   Please be sure to check your white packet for uniform items to pack.  You will not need too many clothing items as we will be spending most of our time in the gym.

ATTN:  Parents who are attending, you will need to park in the main lot across the street (Lancaster Ave) from Jake Nevin.  You will get a parking ticket if you park in the gym lot.  Players may set up a "team" area in the Upper Level of Jake Nevin and the sides of the Pavilion.
