Driving Directions to AMHS and Away VB Matches
Riding Home from Away Matches
Players will ride the team bus or vans to away matches.
Players are allowed make arrangements to ride home with parents.
The coaches will have a signout sheet. Please be aware that
there are a lot of things going on after a game and a lot of players to keep tabs
on, so we appreciate your patience to help make sure everyone is
accounted for before leaving.
North Everett Drop Off
On matches North on I-5 (Orcas, Lakewood, Mt Baker, Mt Vernon) the vans will stop at the
Marysville/Tulalip
McDonalds to drop off players. Players often call home on
cell phones when we pass the Stanwood/Camano Island exit to give parents a
chance to meet the vans. Please try to be there to meet the
vans which still have to make it back to AMHS to drop off the rest
of the players.
Meals and Snacks
Planning for meals and snacks for road trips is
the players' responsibility. And since some of our trips are
long this is an important consideration. We encourage players to avoid fast food and junk snacks before matches.
Depending on schedules the van or bus may not be able to stop for
dinner on the way home. Our
Volunteers are coordinating a snack rotation to avoid a crisis!
Homework
Travel schedules for Away matches present a challenge.
And there isn't any slack cut for athletes. (Generally they
are allowed to turn work in early if they will miss a class for a
road game.) We are proud of the accomplishments of our
players in the classroom. The upper classmen have developed
great habits to get work done during the bus ride and while the
other team is preparing and playing. So there is support, but it does take some extra discipline and effort!
Van Cleanup
All players are responsible to leave the van
as good or better for the next users than we got it. We will
carry trash bags and cleaning supplies on road trips. Players riding
home with parents must help clean out the van at the away site
before leaving. Players meeting rides at the North Everett
drop off must do the same at McDonalds before leaving. Finally
those riding all the way home need to do a final pickup when we
arrive at school.
