TRAVELING
- All athletes are required to ride the bus to Dallas. The buses will leave from the Blue Valley Recreation Baseball complex located at 137th street between Switzer and Antioch in Overland Park (same as OKC). The parking lot is on the south side of 137th street and closest to Antioch. Please be on the bus by 5:45 a.m. so we can leave promptly at 6:00 a.m.
- The bus will only be stopping for cheerleaders to get off for food and drinks one time, so please make sure your cheerleader has snacks and drinks for the entire 9 hour trip, as well as money for lunch when we stop. We will also be making a few "stretch" stops for the drivers, but cheerleaders will not be allowed off the bus during these stops.
- When we arrive in Dallas, cheerleaders should take their luggage to their rooms and get ready for a quick team meeting to discuss the next day and potentially practice. Athletes should be in bed no later than 10:00 p.m., as we have an early day on Sunday.
