TRAVEL TOURNAMENTS

NEED TO MAKE TRAVEL PLANS FOR YOUR TEAM?
Please contact Lally Siasoco of Archer Travel.  She is our official Vision Travel Agent and is able to get us some great deals for discounted travel packages for your teams.  Especially Vision teams that are travelling for Memorial Day or during the summer.  She can be reached at 510-965-3351 or by email at travelwithlally@gmail.com.  Please feel free to use her a resource!

CAR RENTAL
We are working on renewing our Avis/Budget car rental discount code for Vision families that are travelling.  You will be able to plug in the code on the avis.com website to get additional discounts. Once the code is available we will give it to your Team Manager, who will be able to distribute the information.

TRAVEL TOURNAMENTS
If your team is planning on travelling this year to Reno, Las Vegas, Anaheim, Portland, Mesquite, San Diego or anywhere else, we have to plan accordingly.  If you need suggestions on where to travel or need tournament suggestions, please ask!  All of these travel tournaments have registration deadlines.  If your team has already chosen a travel tournament and has made plans to travel, please check with Jon Robles to make sure that your team is signed up and registered!  Don't wait until the last minute, as many of the tournament can sell out before the deadlines.   


FOR TEAMS WHO ARE GOING TO RENO FOR MEMORIAL DAY
We have to update our rosters online at:

I have added coaches and team administrators to the their online team profile. Each coach and team manager, that is going to Reno, should have received an email giving you online access.  If you already have a Login, go ahead and login.  If you don't have a login, create one.  Once you have access to your online team profile, you will be able to help updated your team profile online.

Please make sure that your rosters on the Google Spreadsheet are up-to-date.  I will be using that player list to make sure everyone has an AAU card.  We need to make sure that we have AAU cards for all players participating in this AAU sanctioned event. Then we have to make sure the online rosters are updated with every player who has the possibility of competing in Reno.

If you need help completing the online roster and printing your rosters and score sheets, please feel free to contact me and schedule an appointment.  We can complete it together at my house.


COACHES
Coaches must get their "Non-player" AAU coaching card. Otherwise, you will not be allowed on the bench in Reno.  Coaches can follow this link to get it: https://play.aausports.org/Membership.aspx

You will need our Club Code when registering for your coach's AAU card.

The Vision Basketball Academy club code is: WWDB3E.

It will also ask for your social security card number and do a background check.  It usually takes less than a day to get your AAU card.  You may need your assigned AAU number for reference.  You will get an email once it's completed.

If you are a team manager, who is going to Reno, you may want to get a coaching card too.  I believe it's only $14 and it will give you access to a free coaching band in Reno.  It's cheaper than the $31 weekend pass that you would pay at the door.
