General Info

The tournament will take place in Friends Academy's Field House.  Please enter campus using the Piping Rock entrance just south of the Duck Pond Road intersection and look for signs to the Athletic Center.

Directions to Friends Academy


1.  Please try to arrive by 8:30 am.  We are up to 31 teams so it will be a busy day.  We hope to begin competition at 9:15 am so please, please, please leave enough time to get here.  FA is further north than you think and the roads leading up here are not highways.

 

2.  There will be food available for purchase.  Our middle school community service students will be running a concession stand selling breakfast items and then pizza at lunch time.  All proceeds will be donated to the Monteverde Friends School in Costa Rica which was damaged by a recent hurricane.  If you prefer to bring your own food, that is fine, but please note that we are a nut free campus.

 

3. There is plenty of parking.  You can enter the FA campus from either Duck Pond Road or Piping Rock Road.  The Piping Rock entrance leads to the majority of our parking.  Cars should follow the roads in to get closer to our Field House.  Buses should also use this entrance and park in the bus lanes alongside the Dolan Center building.

 

4. Accessible Entrance - If you have anyone coming who is unable to use stairs, they will need to come in through the door on the west end or the field house.  They should enter campus on Duck Pond Road at our Middle School and turn right toward the tennis courts.  There is parking near the ground level entrance to the Field House there.  (Everyone else, especially buses should use the Piping Rock Road entrance).
