CGSA Boys Rule - Jan 26/27

Tournament website: 
 
Hotel Info:
Country Inn and Suites Gateway. (17009 ABERCORN STREET)
 Hotel.com listing #1    Hotel.com listing #2 - not sure why there are two listings.
 
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.
 
Phone number: 912-921-1940   (toll free 1-800-456-4000, but I don't know if it rings at the local hotel.)
 
Below are a list of additional hotels

Training info for the next few weeks

As mentioned last week, Joel is setting up training for this Saturday (9/29)  from 11:30 to 1:30.  I'm not certain if that will include a U15 scrimmage or not, but I know Joel was trying to line that up.
 
For the next few weeks, Thursday's practice will end 15 minutes early (at 7:15 pm) so Joel can do some make-up sessions with the U17s.

Aiken Soccer tournament - Hotel info

John has discovered that Aiken is basically booked up. He found a block of 15 rooms at the Holiday Inn Express in Aiken.
The deadline (Fri 7/27) for holding these has expired, but it is possible other people/teams have rooms held that they will not lock in. So by checking with this hotel, you may be able to still get a room if you missed the 7/27 deadline.

Click here for Hotel details (The reviews I read at Travelocity looked very favorable.)

The tournament is Aug 25/26.
