USA Touch Nationals & International Club Open

Details are out for the USA Touch Nationals & International Club Open and looking to see if there is any interest to either come along and join the Jamaican Touch team, or enter one of your own. If so then please get back to me as soon as possible for more information / planning.

When

October 11th – 14th, 2018

Where

Chula Vista, California, USA – the 155 acre state of the art sports venue that is the elite athlete training centre used by US Olympics, Paralympics and Rugby squads.

What

Biggest and best Touch tournament west of the Atlantic. 3 days of competition against the best teams in the USA and invitational teams from the likes of Cayman, Chile and a Pete Walters led NZ group. Men’s, Women’s & Mixed categories.

It’s also less than 30 minutes from the Mexican border so we might pop down there for a day out and quick game!

How much

$1500 for team registration, so about €100 per person
Flights to LAX (from Ireland) usually go for about €600-700
Accomodation – sadly they do a Stay to Play format, 2 options this year:
i, Stay at the nearby Marriott hotel, about 2 miles from the pitches (maybe Iain can sort out a deal!)
ii, Stay on the site with a fully catered option (limited availability) for $140 per night – lots of benefits
Playing and social gear if you come play for Jamaica – probably about €50-75
