  • Most teams will play in five to seven tournaments, which are held on the weekends.
    • The number of tournaments vary by team.
    • Most tournaments are 2-day tournaments; some are 1-day tournaments.
  • Our region consists of locations in Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee.  
  • Teams may also travel to Florida and/or Mississippi to attend tournaments.
  • The tournament season will end, for most of our teams, at the SRVA Regionals in April; this tournament will be in Atlanta.
  • If your child's team attends Nationals, their season will extend through early July.

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.
