Colorado Information: 2014 Trip to Denver Colorado

Date: November 7-9, 2014. We will leave Friday in the morning (or Thursday night) and return Sunday night.

Cost: TBD – will include Airfare, ground transportation, hotel for each player and the coaches, and tournament entry fee. Depending on our numbers, we think this can be done for $300-550. I will have a better price point once we know how many kids we have going (next week). Flights are likely to be more expensive than last year.

Pool Location: Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center, 5310 E. 136th Ave. Thornton, Colorado 80602 (a suburb of Denver)

Windy City typically purchases airfare, ground transportation, and hotel for all athletes and coaches. The costs are totaled up and then divided between the athletes. If parents want us to purchase airfare and book a hotel room for them, we are happy to do that. These costs will be totaled for individual parents and not divided among the team or other parents. If a parent wants to book their own airfare and hotel, that is fine as well. We will announce our flight information and hotel information as soon as possible. We typically do not have open spaces in our team vans UNLESS you would like to be the driver. Parents will need to rent their own ground transportation. Depending on our numbers, I will let everyone know if we have any open seats in our team vans in a few weeks. We will travel with a minimum of two coaches for this trip. Coaches will provide supervision throughout the weekend for all Windy City participants.

Please return the handout from Monday's practice by Monday, September 15 in order to help us finalize our travel plans.
