Granite City Classic - Drivers Needed

Update (5/2, 9:00pm):  Schedules for GCC have been released and are linked  on the right hand panel.  Additional information on day start/end times are in the comments of this thread.  A more detailed post will follow tomorrow.

Waiver update:  The following players should have received a phone call or message from me to inform them that their waivers are incomplete.  Please update with USAU immediately or you will not be able to join us this weekend:  J. Condon, Z. Condon, Elias, Fern, Maynard, Mintzer, S. Stillman.  Contact Coach Mike with questions.

Original post below:

We are planning to send two teams and about 30 players to the Granite City Classic this weekend.  In order for this trip to happen, we need more parents to step up and drive.  Driving volunteers for this tournament is especially critical because it essentially consists of four 70-mile trips (Sat AM, Sat PM, Sun AM, Sun PM).

If the average vehicle holds four players plus a driver, it means we have about 32 driving slots to fill.  30 players and 32 driving tasks means every parent needs to find an opportunity to help this team get to St. Cloud or help it get home.  Or both!  We love spectators and the weather so far is predicted to be nice.

This is our last event outside the metro area.  We also have a road game at Henry Sibley this week, but after GCC, the JV travel schedule will calm down.  Please make every effort to do your part and help the team.  Contact Debbi Pavelka for more details.  We would hate to leave anybody at home.

Sorry AR, club policy doesn't allow players to drive to out-of-town events. There is a limited exception for Seniors. Bring your Dad!

Coach Mike B said...

Games for all teams begin at 9:30am both days, which means a departure from Lindbergh around 7:00 or 7:15.

The games will be over by 4:30 on Saturday and 2:45 on Sunday. If the A bracket team does not make pre-quarters, they will instead be done at 2:45 Saturday. The Sunday schedule will be the same regardless of Saturday record.

Max Wolk said...

So, we can bring HOME Sat 5 kids (plus Max)-Ideally a couple smaller kids for the 3rd row in the Pilot.
I can drive TO St Cloud Sun am, Max PLUS 5 Kids-again, a couple smaller ones ideal for 3rd row-
