Region 7 Jackets & JO/NIT Nationals Hotel Block
Posted by: | CommentsThe Region 7 jackets from High Performance were very popular, and many people were asking if they could order additional jackets. People who did not attend HPC may also be interested
in purchasing one. Here is a link that includes a picture of the jacket and how to order jackets through Sports and Beyond. They will be available to purchase until
November

In response to the issues we have had in past years with people securing hotel rooms for JO Nationals and NIT, Craig Zappa has arranged a hotel block for our region in Minneapolis. I am attaching the information. It is a very reasonable rate. I recommend that if you have any athletes you anticipate will qualify, make a reservation now. After regionals, if your athlete does not qualify, or if you do not need as many rooms, be sure to cancel or modify your reservation. Remember that our region holds a separate regional meet for Level 10 (only region to do so) and it is scheduled 1 week later than the rest of the regions….

Thanks and best of luck with your seasons!
