Happy Holidays,

I hope everyone has a great and safe Thanksgiving. Thanks for the support this weekend. Remember no practice this week. All U15 players make sure you spend sometime each day running(2-3 miles each time). See you next week.

Thanks

Trip Advisor info

With our first game at 12:30, some may choose to drive up Saturday morning instead of Friday night.  I have talked to the Hotel Group-Sales coordinator, and she has been very good to work with. At this time, all our names have been sent from CESA to the Fairfield Inn, and we have individual confirmation numbers. If you want to cancel Friday night, call 864-527-6122. Make sure she knows you just want to cancel just Friday and not the entire weekend. You may want to wait until early next week to verify that the schedules still haven't changed. However, you may not want to wait until the last minute because these rooms were secured via contract.

New Fall Practice Schedule

Starting next week (Aug 18)

Parents and Players, I have to make a change in the practice schedule for the fall. This will free me up for an early training time with the Academy players on Thursdays.

Tues 5:30-7:00 U15's
7:00-8:30 U18's

Wed 5:30-7:00 U15's
7:00-8:30 U18's

Thurs 7:00-8:30 (Both Teams)

With the new schedule I can have 2 separate practices with both teams and also allow each player 3 training sessions a week. Please note that practice times may run over an extra 15 mins each session. So that you know on Mondays and Thursdays I will be coaching the Academy in the early time slot and on Mondays I will be assisting older girls and boys teams in the later slot.

Thanks
Joel

Anthony stayed there last fall, said it had been recently renovated, and gave it a great review.  It's just off the Interstate, so it will be 20 min or so from the fields.

 

As of today, they had 12 Kings @ $99,   18 double Queens @ $99, and 11 suites @ $109. 

When I called this evening I spoke to Rick (front desk mgr). He gave me the AAA rate of $89.10, and I'm not a AAA member.  He said he could do that rate for anyone else that called in.
