Hotels

  • CCJ prefers that all families / players stay in the same hotel.
    • This allows the team to react promptly when their are last-minute schedule changes.
  • CCJ does NOT require that players share rooms.  They are allowed to room with their family.
  • Each family is responsible for their child's travel arrangements (transportation, hotel, meals).
  • Team Moms will often secure a block of rooms for the team.
    • If you know that your family will NOT be staying with the team, please let the coach/team mom know before the team mom starts working on hotel blocks.
