2008 Junior Olympic Information

USA Water Polo has recently released more detailed information about the 2008 Junior Olympic Tournament to be held in Irvine, CA July 25-29. This year, athletes & parents are being asked to book their own flights to and from the tournament. However, we ask that you please book the following flights.

My thinking on doing it this way. First of all, several team members will be traveling ahead to look at schools and meeting at the hotel in Los Angeles. As such, I don't think we would qualify for a group rate this year. And, regardless of that fact, flights are extremely cheap right now and I think it is in the best interests of everyone to book now! I cannot foresee a situation where we will be changing these flights.

To California
July 25 -- SWA 3863 (departing at 7:05am) -- I just booked my flight for $125 (!!!!)

Coming Home
July 30 -- SWA 1960 (departing at 6:10am PDT) -- current price is also $125 (!!!!)

To my knowledge, the following individuals should be booking these flights. As I said before, I know that some athletes will not be traveling with the team to California.

- Trent Going
- John Heafner
- Matt Hohenberger
