You may park on any surrounding neighborhood street, but please be mindful of the usual things: do not block driveways, fire hydrants, or crosswalks. Per APD, no parking within 20 feet from a crosswalk, 15 feet from a fire hydrant, or 30 feet from a stop sign. And, please do not park in any areas that are striped or where a parking cone has been placed.

If you need additional space, check with me. If you bring EZ-Ups, please don't use spikes to secure them to the ground – we have had a sprinkler line punctured in the past. If you need some buckets as tie downs, let me know. Also, if you set up on the basketball court, please pad the feet, as we just had the court re-surfaced. Again, let me know if you need something to put under the EZ-up feet. There are limited spectator seats available, so please ask your parents and spectators to bring chairs. 5. Warm-ups.
