2013 GIRL'S GymRat CHALLENGE: Game Sites & Directions

Yameya-Johson-Baltimore-Starz-15U KYLIE-LIBBY-Maine-Wave-&-Ciara-Rosten--NY-Revolution-16U-ALL-GRC

DIRECTIONS to all GymRat CHALLENGE competition venues can be found below. COURT NUMBERS associated with each venue are also indicated. Where applicable, we have provided GPS addresses for your convenience. GPS is only advisable for use when traveling to our non-collegiate facilities. Generally speaking, colleges and universities only provide street addresses for centrally located points on their campuses. Locating those addresses via GPS devices may get you to the college campus, but will likely NOT place you near the actual competition venue on that campus. The directions that are provided below are specifically designed to get you to the entrance of the competition venue. Where GPS addresses are not available or applicable, please refer to the detailed directions that we have taken the time to test and provide below. For your additional reference and convenience, we have also provided links to our host facility websites.

For the convenience of our competing teams, the TABLE below provides a summary of our COMPETITION SITES and the corresponding AGE DIVISIONS that will be utilizing each site. Please refer to this information when booking your team hotel if you desire to have your team hotel in close proximity to your competition site.
