REGIONALS
We will be blocking off enough rooms for every family to reserve one at the Hampton Inn in Hilliard, Ohio. (3950 Lyman Drive, Hilliard, Ohio, 43026). We will give you the phone number and reservation number as soon as I get it. It is not mandatory that all players stay in the hotel the night before the tournament, but if possible, it is a great way for the girls to get in one last chance to bond before the end of the season. Check in is at 3:00pm and in the past usually the teams go out together around 5:30/6:00 for dinner. In the past, my teams and I meet at the hotel around 5:00 and head to dinner. Then we come back to the hotel and have a end of the season party in the lobby. The accomidations are great for the price and the front desk usually doesn't care. There is a pool and the kids can take advantage of that. Pool play at the tournament begins at 8:30am so the players need to be out the door by 7:30/7:45. If any family does not stay at the hotel they will need to meet the team there at this time. Each coach will be giving you specific instructions, but these are the basics. If you have any questions, let me know! :)

FAMILY FUN NIGHT
Family Fun Night is a night that the players can bring their family members to the YMCA to enjoy the facilities while it is closed to the public. The pool will be open along with the Waterpark. We will also have the annual Player on Coaches game which is always a BLAST! (P.S. 17's/16's: You're going DOWN!!) We will provide pizza and we will assign soda, appetizers, deserts etc. to each team to be in charge of. More details are to come asap!

FINALIZED TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE

TOURNAMENT TIME

Play
All teams are placed in pools of 3 to 4 teams. You will play each team in your pool and the teams with the best records will advance to a Gold bracket with other teams advancing to a Silver or Bronze bracket. At larger tournaments, teams will play other pools, where they will advance to the different brackets. These brackets are usually single elimination with a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awarded in each. So, a team could lose all their pool play matches and still win 1st place in Bronze or a team could win all their pool play matches and lose in Gold and not play.

What to Bring
Bring your own chairs. Seating is limited in most of the gyms so we recommend that you bring your own chairs.
Pack a cooler. We strongly advise that you pack a cooler for your athlete for the day of a tournament because they can run long.
Bring a pillow and sleeping bag. Teams usually find a place where they can sit together, away from the court and other teams. This is known in the volleyball world as "camp". Most players bring pillows and sleeping bags so they can rest between games. Homework, books, board games, etc. are all recommended for some of the longer tournaments.

Arrive early so you can help set up your team area and get ready to warm-up. Except for starting times, most tournaments do not follow a set time schedule. Matches will begin 10 minutes after the end of the previous match. So pay attention to the court you are playing on! Depending on the size of the tournament and how well it is run, it can be over anywhere between 3pm and 11pm.
