Team Travel by Plane (U15-U18)

The club no longer coordinates group airfare or ground transportation at the club level.  Coordination of flights and ground transportation is done at the team level between the Team Focal, Head Coach, and Parents. 

Overview:

*IMPORTANT: When booking flights, your player's flight must be coordinated with the Chaperone, Team Focal, and Coaches.   Players must be accompanied by a parent, or a parent’s adult representative, or a representative of the club like the coach or chaperone when flying.

Flights should arrive at their destination in the afternoon or early evening the day BEFORE the start of the tournament.  Return flights cannot leave until AFTER 6:00 PM.  For most Qualifiers, the last match can go as late as 4:00 PM.

*Parents are responsible for coordinating with the team for getting their player to/from the Hotel, Venue, and Airport.
