COACH REQUIREMENT

The Coach or representative MUST be contact-able throughout the entire tournament in case any issues arise and MUST check in with Tournament Staff. Students must be accompanied by a designated adult who is officially responsible for that student.

If a student is found to be at the tournament with no official adult supervision, that student will be removed from the tournament and sent home.

WHOMEVER you put in charge of your team should have the student emergency medical forms/permission slips/parent contact form for your team. Protect your students, yourself and your "representative."

Student Meal Pre-Orders

Student meals will be available to pre-order no later than Sunday, March 1st, 2026. All student meal pre-orders must be made no later than Wednesday, March 25th, 2026 at 3:00pm. There will be a very limited number of meals available for day-of purchases, so we strongly encourage teams to pre-order their team's meals. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase throughout the tournament.

We ask that you please support our host school and strongly discourage your students (or their parents) from leaving campus to purchase food offsite. In addition to being unsupportive of our host, it is also a significant liability issue for coaches and schools to have students wandering off campus during the tournament.
