TEAM TABLES/TENTS: Team tables and tents are allowed to be set up outside the Larry Bagwell Gym. Tailgating is such a fun time at tournaments. We encourage as many as possible to be set up outside the building (we will have an area blocked for tents). Having everyone together creates such a fun community atmosphere. It is one of our favorite parts of the day.
Sign up with what you will bring to the tailgate HERE!
FACILITY: NO OUTSIDE COOLERS OR FOOD ALLOWED. Larry Bagwell Gym provides a full concession stand available with food and beverages. **Athletes are allowed bottles of water or sports drinks on the court while playing- It must have a closed lid. We ask that no open containers or cups be on the courts. Please help us in cleaning up as you leave the court each time. Spectators can bring folding chairs inside (no seating provided). We have access to the walking track above two of the 3 gym courts for viewing (Gym 2-JV and Gym 3-MS). Food/chairs are not allowed- however it is still a fun spot to watch a match.
