Omaha Regional Info For Boys and Girls

Thom Crosier — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 02:04:00 GMT

Girls first game on Thursday is at 3pm vs KC East. Boys first game on Thursday is at 5:30pm vs Christ Prep. Both at the same venue. Girls will need to leave Sedalia by 7am in order to have time to check in to hotel and have lunch. Money for the hotel and t-shirts should be turned in to the school office by Wednesday at the latest if you have not done so already. Also remember to send $5.00 for gas with your child if they are riding with someone else. We will not be having a team lunch this year so additional money will be needed for lunches and dinners. This should include funds for a trip to the Pizza Machine arcade for dinner and games as we did last year. (Breakfast is free at the hotel) Players will need to bring both home and away uniforms, team t-shirts and warm ups.

If you child needs a ride to the tournament please make arrangements with someone going ASAP.

Hotel reservations for tournament

Thom Crosier — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:31:00 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have made hotel reservations at the:

Days Inn Oklahoma City

12013 N. I-35 Service Rd.

I-35 Exit 137 and 122nd St.

Oklahoma City, OK 73131 US

They are in a good location for traveling to our game sites, have a free hot breakfast, indoor access, refrig, microwave, two queens, a sofa bed, on site laundry for guests and an INDOOR POOL! (kids can thank me by winning the tournament). Cost is $74/night INCLUDING TAX.

I have reserved the room on my own credit card but adults will be asked to provide their own method of payment at check in. Players staying with adults other than their parents will need to make arrangements to pay for their portion of the room cost. I plan to put a minimum of 4 per room where possible.

Here is the link to the web site for more info and pix:

Next week will be our last week of open gym since volleyball practice starts the following week. For those of you who aren't playing volleyball...if you would like to work out as a small group we might be able to work something out. Give me a call.

Thanks to all who played over the summer. Hope you had fun and learned something while you were at it. We'll be a better team for it this winter.

Stay home and shoot hoops in the yard or challenge your Dad to one on one. Maybe you can beat him since none of you can beat me. :)
