Holiday Break

Coaching Staff — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 14:17:09 +0000

Just a reminder to everyone. There will be no practice on Christmas Eve, Christmas day, or New Years Day. There is no regular practice during the week of Dec 27th-31st. Optionals (Levels 7-10) will have morning workouts that week and for anyone wishing additional practice time there will be team only open gyms on Tuesday the 28th and Thursday the 30th from 1:00pm-4:00pm. I hope everyone enjoys their holiday.

Additional Florida Info

Coaching Staff — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 19:58:37 +0000

We have found a little more information on possible housing arrangements for the Florida trip.

http://www.vrbo.com/search?q=windsor+hills+disney#a0

This website shows house prices near where Jim’s house is (where the coaches will be staying (5 minuite drive to Disney)). There are 6 bedroom houses that sleep 14 for 240.00 a night (divide that by even just 3 families and you are at 80.00 a night per family).

Or a 2 bedroom condo that sleeps 5 for 79.00 a night for those that don’t want to share!

I have found car rentals for 35.00 a day (and people can buy scrip cards to pay and get 8% put back in their booster club account!).

Family of four at resort – no disney tickets = 1885.00
Family of four at condo – no disney tickets + car rental = 1326.00
Family of four sharing a 6 bedroom home with 4 families – no disney tickets + car rental = 1269.00

These all include meet/coaches fees
