2.  FLIGHTS

The team flights are:

DEPART:

Monday, March 16th

Southwest #237

10:15 am - 3:40 pm

Arrive at the Southwest ticket counter at 8:30 am.  We’ll need to get the boarding passes and the bags checked.  The ticket counter is on Level 6 of the airport.  Patty will be there at 8:15 am.  REMEMBER YOUR PHOTO ID!

RETURN:

Friday, March 20th

Southwest #654

Tampa - Denver

4:15 pm - 6:20 pm

3.  COST OF THE TRIP

The total trip cost is $1,315.  The vast majority of you already paid the $400 deposit.  That means you owe an additional $915.  Obviously, if you didn’t pay the deposit, you owe the entire amount.

There are two payment options:

a.  Mail a check (payable to Mullen) to:

    Patty Nachazel

    4 Bark Cherry

    Littleton, CO  80127

Checks must be received by March 12th.

b.  Pay by credit card by calling Patty.  Her mobile phone number is 720-633-2041.  She will complete the required credit card form.  She’ll need the card number, expiration date, and your billing address.  She will take the forms to Mullen on March 12th and Mullen will run the cards.

This trip includes airfare, transportation, food, beach yoga, and lodging.  The team hotel is The Postcard Inn (http://postcardinn.com).  The hotel is right on the beach.

IF YOU ARE NOT TAKING THE TEAM FLIGHTS, CALL PATTY IMMEDIATELY.  If you elect to fly (roundtrip) on your own, you will receive a credit of $430.  Said differently, if you already paid the deposit and you are flying on your own, your balance due is $915-$430=$485.

4.  REGISTRATION

Each player needs to register for the trip on the 3d website (www.3dlacrosse.com).    Parents will need to create a “parent account” before they can create a “player account.”  Once the player account has been created, the player can be registered.  The player’s US Lacrosse number will be requested.  Simply skip this step if you do not have a US Lacrosse number.  It is an optional field.

5.  LONG POLES

We will collect long poles (just the shafts) after the final practice before the trip.  The poles can be picked up in Tampa when the team arrives.  The poles can be damaged by the airlines so they will be transported in PVC sleeves.

Please contact Patty with any additional questions.
