Holiday Break

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

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

Florida Trip

We are considering an away meet to Orlando this year and are trying to determine an interest level.  We have preliminary cost information that has been sent to you through a note to your children.  Please try to return this form as soon as possible so that we can get the process started.  If you need more information, please use the email KC button and drop me a line.
