What to bring: You will get some bedding, but I would recommend bringing a pillow and a blanket. Make sure to pack practice clothes, a few changes of every day clothes, your spikes, running shoes, and uniform. Make sure to bring your hygiene products and you may want to bring a towel. Sometimes athletes will bring small (portable) televisions and videogame systems. Some of the meals and the movie will be paid for. You may want to bring some extra money for a t-shirt and snacks. If you need to call the coaching staff, Coach Patrylak can be reached at 618-567-5792 and Coach Wilson is at 618-401-2990. Good luck!
