Atlanta Cup:

. . . . . The 2006 Atlanta Cup International Field Hockey Tournament (held in Atlanta, GA) has a Men's and Women's Division and will be held on October 7 & 8 this year - we want to send a team in each division!! The registration fee is $65/player, and hotel will cost in the neighborhood of $60 for the weekend. Airfare looks around $250ish, and car rentals should be something like $20-30/person (depending how lost we get looking for Peachtree Street!). There has been some discussion of fundraising to try to help offset the cost, so we'll do what we can as a team. This was a fantastic tournament last year, and it'll be a big step for the club to have two teams traveling! The men were very competitive last year and the women have an excellent chance of doing very well if the teams attending in 2006 are similar. Please submit your interest to Simon or Theresa (based on your gender) ASAP if you'd like to stand for selection - this has been designated as one of our competitive tournaments for the year. The deadline to register our teams is July 31, so we need to make sure we have a good amount of interest before then!! Georgia Field Hockey Association Website.
