We are expecting to stay at the same

Castillian dorms).

dinner and a small snack on each day.
There are a few exceptions where

Players should also allow for extra
money for entertainment (movies, etc.), water,
snacks and miscellaneous incidentals
(forgotten items, souvenirs, airport meals). |

SUNWEST
VBC - DAVIS FESTIVAL 2003
TRAVEL: Attached you will find the flight
manifests for your team. Flights depart the morning of
Sunday, June 29th, 2003 and return on Sunday, July 5th,
2003 in the afternoon.
WHEN DO WE MEET?: All teams will meet at San
Diego airport at <times TBD> on Sunday, June 29th.
Meet your coach and chaperone at the Southwest Airlines
check-in desk immediately upon arriving at the airport -
they will have your tickets. Bring your bags to be
checked to the Southwest counter inside the airport. DO
NOT check them with the skycap at the curb. All checked
bags must have name and address attached. Put all
detachable straps inside the bag. REMEMBER YOUR STUDENT
ID OR DRIVER'S LICENSE, as they will likely ask for I.D.
when checking in. DO NOT BE LATE TO THE AIRPORT!
WHEN DO WE PLAY?: Play for all teams begins on
Monday, June 30th. Morning pools begin at 8am, afternoon
pools usually begin at 2 or 3pm. We will not know where
your team will be playing until Sunday night. If you are
in a morning pool, you will probably have morning pools
most of the week (same for afternoon pools). Most teams
will play Monday through Thursday and Saturday. Teams in
the top 8 normally play Friday as well. ALL teams will
compete for a division championship on Friday or
Saturday.
TIME OFF THE COURT: There will definitely be some
down time each day. During this time, each team should
get around to support other Sunwest teams. If you're in
the 14s or 16s, be sure to check out the Convention
Center where there will be booths and shopping as well
as all of the 18s teams. Other time can be spent
shopping, relaxing at the pool (Yes, we have a pool and
spa), sleeping (always a favorite), seeing a movie, etc.
This is all at the discretion of the coach and
chaperone. All teams will travel as a group. No one is
allowed to leave the dorms alone. You will have one day
(Friday probably) with no volleyball matches. On this
day, teams can decide what they want to do, but all
teams MUST be in Davis by 4:30pm for the BBQ and the
18s/16s finals. If any of the Sunwest teams are in the
finals, all teams will attend.
MEALS: The following meals are included and are
eaten at one of several UC Davis dining halls:
Sunday: BBQ dinner; Mon-Thurs.: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
and snack pack; Fri: Breakfast, bag lunch and BBQ
dinner; Sat: Breakfast and bag lunch.
Players will need to purchase dinner on Saturday (July
5th) and breakfast and lunch on Sunday (July 6th) with
their own funds (not included in meal plan). Also allow
for meals if the team decides to leave the dorms on
their day off.
DORMS: Sunwest is lucky to have great
accommodations at the UC Davis residence suites just off
the main UCD campus. Each suite has 3 bedrooms, 2
bathrooms and a common living room. Most suites have 5
beds, and most teams will have 2 suites. Lost keys will
result in a $35 replacement fee. If you need to reach a
player or coach, you can leave a message at
(530)752-2900. If you have an emergency, use the same
number and they will track us down as quickly as
possible. Or, call my cell phone at 619-997-1556
(keeping in mind that I also coach a team and may not be
at the dorms). Some coaches will also have cell phones
that can be used in an emergency. Laundry facilities
will be available. Chaperones will only be responsible
for washing uniforms.
PLAYING SITES: Most likely, the 18s will play at
the Sacramento Convention Center, 16s at Cal Expo, and
the 14s at UC Davis. Some teams will be at satellite
sites around the main centers.
MONEY: This is always a tough question. Take into
account the events and schedules described above and use
your best judgement. Allow for money for laundry. Plan
for an unplanned meal or two. For meals, water,
Gatorade, etc. - figure $75 or so. This does not include
entertainment expenses like movies or shopping. Any
money left over will be split up and returned to the
girls. The chaperones will manage the money for the
week.
SUNWEST
VOLLEYBALL CLUB - DAVIS PACKING LIST
The following is a packing list for Davis. Use it as a
guideline in combination with what you know about your
daughter's needs and your own common sense.
The girls should bring their SUNWEST duffel bags on the
plane with them and also may bring a small backpack for
walk mans, books, cards, snacks, etc. They can pack one
additional duffel bag to check on the plane. PLEASE make
sure every item has their name on it, we will be doing
laundry and it will make it a lot easier to sort when
the time comes.
Remember that the weather should be very hot, but can
also be cool in the evenings and mornings (and in the
A/C). Most of all, try to think through the week and
anticipate your daughter's needs. Please be careful not
to over pack! We will have limited space in the vans.
Thank you!
