From Nancy (6-10-24):
Dear Buddies,
The tournament is rapidly approaching! Here is the information that you will need. Please print and bring with you to the tournament. If you have any corrections, additions or questions please let me know!
Omaha to Cedar Rapids is approximately 3 hours 45 minutes
Tammy, Jane and I plan to leave Omaha around 2:00 with arrival about 6:00. We will order pizza for everyone that expects to arrive by 6:30. I will need to know how many will be eating pizza in your party so we can order ahead of time. If you don't think you will be there for pizza then you will need to eat on your own. Please reply by Monday, June 17th. If you do not reply I will assume that you will not be eating with us.
Please let me know if you could contribute to the meal. Let me know what you will bring and how many. Thanks
water/drinks (no pop)
brownie or cookies
chips
fruit
I will bring paper goods, cups and cutlery
If there is room in the lobby we will play board games and cards. Bring your favorite game to share.
You and your athlete may also use the swimming pool. An adult must be with your athlete at ALL times when using the pool. The coaches will not be supervising the athletes and you swim at your own risk. If there is an unaccompanied athlete the coaches will assist them.
We will call it a night by about 9:00 PM so that everyone can get a good night's sleep before the competition. Please remind your athlete to avoid soda and caffeine as they don't mix well with heat and activity. Be sure that your athlete hydrates well the night before and also be hydrating the week before we leave.
