Travel Player Itinerary for U11-U19 Teams
All coaches in the U11-U19 ages need to provide their players and families a completed “NM Rapids Player Itinerary” for any upcoming out of town events for the 2024-25 season seven (7) days prior to each out of town event. The attached player itinerary should be completed by all NM Rapids U11-U19 head coaches prior to attending any event / tournament. Once your player itinerary is completed and sent to your specific team please have coaches Cc your age specific or program Director, Director of Coaching and Technical Director. This should be completed at least seven (7) days prior to travel to any out of town event.
*This document does not need to be completed for in town events / tournaments.
I believe the attached player itineraries will make out of town travel a bit easier on coaches and families in regard to what is expected while we are on the road with our players and teams for events. By completing the attached player itinerary document it will give your players and families a clear picture of what your expectations are for your players while traveling. I also think completing this document will especially be beneficial for coaches traveling with multiple teams to events and larger events that we are sending multiple teams to where staff may need to support each other spending additional time at the fields.
Possible team activities and/or things to schedule during travel weekends depending age group and competitive level.
- Match warm-up times
- Match kick-off times
- Light training sessions or Recovery activities
- Team meetings
- Brief parent meeting
- Team meals
- Video sessions

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. All GREY areas should be updated based on your respective travel schedule and event.
