Travel
Travel is expensive. With the high cost of fuels, even travel within MN for “local” tournaments is expensive. The purpose of playing the 5 MN tournaments is to have fun, but more importantly to prepare each team for the stiff competition we will see at out of state tournaments. Once the Glory coaches have selected our 3 MN invitational tournaments, these dates and the state championship tournament dates will be posted on the Glory Coaches Corner page. Check that page weekly for these schedules and other important notices.

To obtain directions from your home to each weekend tournament use the MSHSL website and Yahoo maps: Addresses for all Minnesota High Schools are posted on the state’s website - MSHSL. On this website, left click on schools, and find the school address from the right hand side of the page. Then go to www.Yahoo.com and left click on Maps in the middle of the page. Left click on the phrase “driving directions”. Under the number 1, type your home address & under the number 2, type your HS destination address. Print off the directions. Since most of our players are from outside the Metro area, check the team’s roster and carpool as much as possible.

The sole purpose of playing in out-state tournaments is to showcase the boys' skills to college coaches. We get to most all tournaments by volunteer parent driving. Parents traveling with the team should keep this in mind when planning their budgets. Parents should get their motel rooms as soon as they have decided to drive some of the team to a tournament.

The costs for these trips is additional. The cost of the tournament and the motel rooms will simply be added and divided equally amongst the players on each team. Once these costs are known, they will be posted on the Coaches Corner page, and we would appreciate your bringing a check to the practice before the state qualifying tournament.

Devotional Night
Three great friends of the Glory program: former professional athletes:
NBA player Walter Bond, Powerlifter Jeff Warner, and Olympian Ron
Backes have devoted their time to the program and given devotionals. The last practice in May, one of these athletes will be present for a devotional and an autograph signing. Players should bring their families and friends to hear what has become one of the highlights of the MN Glory season.
