Chicago Invite - GIRLS AND VARSITY

Both the varsity and girls teams will be traveling to Naperville Illinois from March 15-17 to participate in the Chicago Invite. We've been discussing this with the teams for a while, and have asked them to speak to their parents about attending, so hopefully this isn't catching anyone by surprise! We would love to have as many parent chaperones as possible traveling with us. We have 2 options for travel this year; coach bus and parent carpools. With both teams traveling, we would need a minimum of 6 parents driving in order to consider that option, and that's figuring most parents can transport 5-6 players. We need to know ASAP if you are planning on attending this tournament both as a player and a chaperone so we can make our decision on travel. Costs vary quite a bit depending on mode of transportation. I'm not able to give you an exact number yet, as I don't know how many players are going, but figure in the $100.00 range with parent drivers, and $160.00-$200.00 range depending on # of players and parent bus riders if we use the coach bus. There will be a small fee for parents riding the bus(probably $30-50). And as always, if we carpool, we will reimburse those parents asking to be reimbursed for their gas, with valid receipts. If the team travels by bus, and you decide you'd still like to drive, there is no reimbursement. We're still finalizing hotel details, but parent's rooms are their own expense. Please also know, if you've never traveled with the team before, it's a wonderful way to experience Ultimate and really get to know the game and your child's coaches and teammates. It's also not a vacation...in the evenings, the coaches deserve and are given free time away from OUR children, so please know that we as parents are making a commitment to supervise the players in the evening.
