AAU Nationals Orlando Dates: June 16- June 28, 2018 Players and coaches will be staying in condos at: The Floridays Resort 12562 International Dr Orlando, Fl. 32821 407 238-7700 More tournament info can be found at: http://www.aauvolleyball.org/events/nationalchampionships/2018girlsnati onals.aspx Play will take place at: Disney s Wide World of Sports Complex and the Orange County Convention Center Parents: Contact your coach for their flight info as coaches will assist unaccompanied players TO the hotel the day of check in if they are on one of our coach s flights. Each family is responsible for booking their own daughter s flight. If parents are not planning to attend, they should book their daughter on a flight with another family or one of our coach s flights. It is highly suggested that any unaccompanied players fly home with another family or player on the team as coaches have tournament responsibilities after the tournament is over and should not be responsible for players once the season/tournament concludes. IF you need an appointed coach/chaperone to be responsible for your daughter after the tournament concludes, please make arrangements well in advance and an additional fee can be added to your travel fee. Please plan to be in Orlando at the hotel, BY 5pm the day before play and book departures for after 7pm the last day of competition or the next day. Do NOT plan to go to Orlando EARLY without asking about the practice schedule your team will be practicing the week before you go. If you are driving, please contact your coach to see when the latest you can leave is without missing more than one practice.

Last year, a few of the championships were at 7pm on the final day and we did have several teams earn medals last year! Players are free to leave with their parents at the conclusion of play or reffing. Teams that qualify for Detroit will NOT go to Orlando. If a team qualifies and does not attend AAU s, you will need to be aware of the flight and transfer restrictions your airline might have if you book early.
