Hello Coaches,
Thank you to all of the coaches and team staff who were able to attend last night's Mandatory Coaches Meeting. I hope it helped answer some of your questions and provided a better understanding of what to expect during the End of Summer Slam!
Since a few teams were unable to have a representative attend, I wanted to summarize the major points that were covered.
*Registration Status*
Team Registration was due July 1 (deadline has passed).
Team Registration Payments were due July 1 (deadline has passed).
If your team still has any outstanding registration or payment issues, please contact one of us as soon as possible.
*Tournament Venues*
Games will be played at the following locations:
ESPN Wide World of Sports
Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center
Game Point Event Center
*Parking Information*
ESPN Wide World of Sports
Free parking
Admission ticket required (must be purchased separately through Disney)
Game Point Event Center
Free parking
Gaylord Palms
Parking is charged per vehicle, per entry for day guests.
Overnight hotel guests pay parking once per day, receive in-and-out privileges, and have priority parking if the lot reaches capacity.
*Off-Site Parking Shuttle (Gaylord Palms)*
To help alleviate parking concerns at Gaylord Palms, Elite Sports Events will be providing a shuttle van between an off-site parking location and the Gaylord.
The shuttle will accommodate one rider per family.
The cost is $5 per trip from the off-site parking lot to Gaylord Palms, payable when boarding the shuttle.
There is no charge for transportation from Gaylord Palms back to the off-site parking lot.
The address of the off-site parking location will be provided closer to the event.
To maximize the number of families we can accommodate, we kindly ask that families drop off all passengers at Gaylord Palms first, and then have only the driver use the shuttle from the off-site parking location.
Your cooperation will help us transport as many participants as possible with minimal wait times.
Stay-to-Play Policy
This is a Stay-to-Play Event.
Any team located more than 40 miles from Orlando is required to reserve a minimum of six (6) hotel rooms through Elite Sports Travel.
Deadline: July 10
Teams that do not meet the minimum room requirement will be assessed a $500 opt-out fee per team, due by July 10.
If your team needs:
an Airbnb or vacation home, a preferred hotel, multiple housing options,
please contact Will with Elite Sports Travel. He can help arrange accommodations while keeping your team compliant and avoiding the opt-out fee.

*Team Check-In*
Most teams will complete two separate check-ins.

Disney requires all teams competing at ESPN to check in directly at ESPN and does not allow off-site check-in.
Every player and coaching staff member must complete Disney's waiver.
Please print all pages of the waiver, not just the cover and signature pages.
These forms must be turned in directly to Disney staff during check-in.
The waiver will be emailed to coaches the week before the tournament. Additional copies will be available at check-in, but bringing completed forms with you will help speed up the process.
Coach Check-In
Each team will receive two (2) coaching credentials.
Every coach receiving a credential must sign the tournament's Zero Tolerance Policy - This policy states that any player, parent, coach, or team representative involved in a physical altercation will result in the immediate removal of the team from the tournament without refund.

Every player must be NSID Verified.
Teams must have joined the Elite Sports Events organization within NSID.
Bring a printed copy of your NSID roster to check-in.

After all players have been verified, please be sure to use the "Join Tournament" option within NSID. This step is required so your team is connected to the End of Summer Slam and can generate a verified roster for check-in.
4. Stay-to-Play Requirement
Teams traveling more than 40 miles from the tournament venues are required to book a minimum of six (6) hotel room nights per team through our official Stay-to-Play partner.

Schedules / Brackets / Venues / Scores / Tournament updates
6. Compliance Reminder
Failure to meet the registration, payment, NSID verification, or Stay-to-Play requirements by the applicable deadlines may result in your team being deemed non-compliant and ineligible to participate in the event, with no refunds issued.
We are putting the final touches on what promises to be an incredible weekend of basketball and can't wait to welcome your teams to Orlando!

Completar este proceso con anticipación garantiza que sus atletas cumplan con las reglas del torneo y ayuda a evitar sorpresas durante el registro del equipo.
