Check-In & Warm-Up

Plan to arrive at the facility at least forty-five minutes before your first scheduled activity to navigate the check-in process. Athletes should head directly to the designated staging areas to drop off gear and begin warm-ups. The facility is well-marked, making it easy for coaches to find their assigned zones quickly. We encourage teams to verify their court or field assignments at the front desk upon arrival. Keeping your group together during this initial phase will significantly streamline your transition into the day's activities.

Mid-Day Regroup

During breaks between sessions, utilize the dedicated common areas within the facility to keep your team hydrated and energized. These zones are perfect for quick team meetings, reviewing game plans, or simply allowing the group to rest in the shade. If you need to step out for a quick meal, the immediate area around Church Avenue offers several convenient options. Remember to keep a clear line of communication with your team regarding meeting times to ensure everyone is ready for the next event. Staying organized during these windows will keep your group focused and prepared.

Wrap-Up & Departure

Once your final event concludes, spend a few minutes ensuring all personal gear and equipment are collected from your assigned area. Exiting the facility is generally efficient, though we suggest allowing a little extra time if multiple events are ending simultaneously. The parking lot can become busy, so please drive carefully as you exit toward the main road. If your group is planning a post-event meal, decide on the location before leaving the venue to avoid confusion. Coordinating your departure as a group ensures that no one is left behind.
