TRAVEL
Travel Details
There are several options for players to travel. Players can travel with family and meet the team, though the fee does include lodging for the player, unfortunately we are not able to discount lodging if the player choses to stay with their family. Players can travel with their family and meet the team to check into their room, if players chose to travel with their family.

Players also have the option to travel with the team. Club X Academy will work on securing group travel for the team and will notify each player of the round-trip cost. If a player choses this option, the airfare amount will be due in full 45 prior to take-off. The Academy will always try it's best to source the most efficient and cost effective option.
