Dear Parents,
Thank you to those of you who have come out the first two matches and supported us! We are working
to improve our game and get better each day, and God willing we will start notching some wins here really soon. I wanted to
update you with a few pieces of information:
Fundraising car wash coupons
will be
coming home today after practice. Just a reminder, the boys need to sell 20 at $15 each, and raise $300
for the program total.
Foothill
Tournament this weekend: We will be playing at
Tustin
High School for pool play, with matches at approximately 9:00 and 10:00 am. The boys need to be at Tustin by 7:15 am,
as we ref the first match at 8:00. Following pool play, we will be traveling to either Irvine High or Beckman High for the
playoffs. If any of you who are planning to be there would be willing to bring a cooler with water and gatorade in it for
the guys, I would appreciate it and will of course reimburse you from the volleyball program!
Las
Vegas Tournament April 5-8: We will meet at CCHS at 1:00pm on April 5th to drive, returning to CCHS on April 8th between
2:00 and 3:00. The team will be staying at the Cancun Resort Villas (my timeshare). I placed a call to the hotel on Saturday
to try and find out if non-timeshare members can book rooms there and have not heard back. In the meantime, courtesy of mapquest
and
orbitz.com, I have come up with a few nearby hotels you can look into if you are planning on going to the tournament:
Emerald
Suites - 9145
South Las Vegas Blvd. (1 mile south of team hotel)
Microtel Inn & Suites - 55 E Robindale Road (0.8 miles
north of team hotel)
Holiday Inn Express - 5760 Polaris Ave. (3.3 miles north of team hotel)
Wingate
by Wyndham - 3041
Saint Rose Pkwy,
Henderson, NV (3.8
miles SE of team hotel)
I have tried to offer some options that are "non-casino" oriented hotels. These are all in
the $100/night or less range, and are all fairly off
the strip, which is
located about 4 miles north of the Cancun Resort. Of course, if you are ok with staying on the strip, there are some nice
hotel deals for the three nights we will be there, such as at the
Luxor Hotel
and at
Mandalay
Bay. I will also have a sign-up board for
breakfast food donations for the trip at the March 17 and March
26 home games. In the meantime, if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to let me know!
In His Service,
Chris
Spurgin
