We wear team gear at all competitions. The warmups, team t-shirts, etc. that apply to your team will be assigned by the team managers. This is required. Everyone must wear tennis shoes for off-ice warmup.
For travelling events you will also need:
A bag/backpack you can carry yourself. No one gets a valet service.
Clothing as assigned for the length of time we'll be gone
Night clothes
Toiletries
Homework or other entertainment
Other ideas: camera, swimsuit if time permits, pillow, watch
Coaches' Rules:
No one goes anywhere alone. Take a buddy everywhere you go.
Don't leave an area where the team is without a chaperone's permission. If it's close to a time to move we need to know where everyone is.
Wear shoes any time you are not in your own hotel room. We need our feet in working order. No one is in the hall shoeless.
Clothing is neat and appropriate. That means no tops with string straps (anything under an inch is too revealing because I don't want to see your bra). No jammie pants in public. No ripped jeans. No shirts with writing that could offend my grandmother.
Remember everywhere we go, we represent our rink, club and city. Deport yourselves wisely. Watch what you say, especially in a rink. No trashing other teams, officials, etc. The walls have ears.
Have fun! That's why we do this. :)
