Benicia Stingrays

Hi Team,

 

We have the Battle of the Ages Information.

 

Due to a couple of families pulling out of Battle, the volunteer schedule had to be updated.  Please check out the new Volunteer Schedule to make sure you are aware of the time you are required to volunteer.  

 

Location:  College Park High School, 201 Viking Drive, Pleasant Hill CA (note that this is a different location from last year!!!)

 

General Parking:  Upper Deck solar paneled section of College park sharing with the Baseball fields (there is a game) along Viking at College Park

 

VIP PARKING: We will be offering VIP parking passes for the street level off Viking (staff parking area) main parking area of College Park. These parking passes will be $25 advanced purchase per day and $30 onsite credit card payments only. The passes usually sell out prior to the meet. These passes will allow you unlimited access to the parking lot throughout the meet. Order your pass online at the Square market: https://checkout.square.site/buy/HFJDXZUBLMVNLWZAIMDRTTGR  You will be sent an email confirming your order that you will bring to the meet to check in at the VIP parking lot.

 

TEAM AREAS AND SET UP: A map of College Park will be available on Weds at: http://pleasanthilldolfins.com . Every participating team is assigned a team area in the hallways. Families are also welcome to set up on the field behind the pool deck which will be first come first serve.

NOTE: If tents, chairs or other personal belongings are left overnight, Pleasant Hill Dolfins Swim Team and other affiliated agencies are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Summer school starts again early on Monday morning so please be a good neighbor by picking up your trash and placing it in the appropriate receptacle locations.
