February 16, 2007 | Comments Off

On The Road to Farmville … 

The Varsity coaching staff and players are excited about the opportunity to travel over Spring Break to play two top-flight teams and practice on a college campus. 

The trip is short due to the games we play locally when we return, but it should be a great “road trip” nonetheless 

The specific travel itinerary is listed below: 

Be at STA at 10:00 a.m.; Bus will depart for Richmond by 11:00 a.m.; Stop on way to eat lunch.  STA at Collegiate, 4 p.m.  Depart for Farmville, VA, after game.  Stop to eat along way.  Arrive at approximately 8 p.m.  Check in to Day’s Inn, Farmville (434-392-6611). 

Thur, March 22 – AM and PM practice on campus of Hampden-Sydney College, Farmville, VA.  Watch Hampden-Sydney practice.  See the sights of Farmville!  

Friday, March 23 – AM “walk-through” practice; check out of Day’s Inn; depart for Richmond at approximately 12:30 p.m.   STA at St. Christopher’s, 3:30 p.m. Depart for DC at 6 p.m.  Stop to eat on way back.  Arrive at STA (Activities Building) at approximately 9 p.m. 

COST:   $200 to cover the cost of the chartered bus (Quick’s Bus Company) and two nights’ lodging.  Players should bring roughly $50–$75 to cover the cost of meals.  

TO:  Please make checks payable to “St. Albans Lacrosse” 

BY:  Please submit to Coach Lester by Friday, March 9.  

Trip Scholarships:  Any player needing financial support for the trip should see Coach Lester or have the player’s family contact him.  We will make arrangements accordingly. 

Note:  Cell phone reception in Farmville was much better than we thought.  However, ff you are having trouble reaching your son on his cell phone, feel free to call the Day’s Inn Main Desk (434-392-6611) or try Coach Lester on his STA issued Nextel phone (202-497-7510).
