Re: What to Expect In Atlanta
These are always a few things I suggest for travel in general, and especially at the Championship.
1. have a buddy system and use it. Let an adult with the team know where you are at all times. There is a lot of distance between the stands and the pits, for example. Check in and out with a chaperone or mentor.
2. have a central meeting place. The team will be spread out in different areas of the venue. Have a plan and have a meeting location.
3. make sure that the lead mentor and parent chaperones have a current cell phone list of all the traveling members. Keep your phone charged and check it for messages on a regular basis.
4. It's always good to to have a nightly team meeting and go over the plans for the next day and what to expect. Schedule, shifts, lunch plans, dinner plans., etc.
The more organized the team is, the more the team can relax and enjoy the experience. It is a very special time.
