"I just wanted to email this morning and thank you both for an awesome weekend.
The girls that did the combine got a lot out of it (although it took a lot out of them). As a parent and club manager it was good for me to be exposed to that type of event, and the NSR kind of organization."

DIRECTIONS | DRIVING DIRECTIONS AND TIPS
FROM THE HOTELS TO THE FIELDS:
The easiest and quickest way to both the girls fields and the Boys fields from the hotels is to avoid going through town. This can add 20 minutes to your trip.
We recommend one of the following routes.
Take Diehl Rd west all the way to Rt 59. Take Rt 59 South (left) and follow to 95th St. If you are going to the girls fields:
Turn east (left) onto 95th St. and watch for signs to Frontier Park Sports Complex. Follow to 1st light which is Cedar Glade and turn south (right) Follow this around to the back of the Neuqua Valley High School Gold Campus. You will see the fields there.
Or…
Take Diehl Rd west to Raymond south (left). Follow this as it turns into Ogden Ave and go south. Take Ogden all the way as it curves east to Rt 59 and go south (left) onto Rt 59. Follow Rt 59 South and follow to 95th St.
Turn east (left) onto 95th St. Follow to 1st light which is Cedar Glade and turn south (right) Follow this around to the back of the Neuqua Valley High School Gold Campus. You will see the fields there.
If the parking off Cedar Glade entrance is full, just go back out to 95th St, head east (right) and follow to Book Rd. Turn left (south) and follow 1 block to the Book Rd entrance on your right. The fields are an equal distance whichever way you enter the park
If you are going to the BOYS FIELDS:
Follow the directions above but instead of turning onto 95th St, continue south on Rt 59 to 111th St (also know as Hassert Rd) and turn right onto 111th. The fields are on the south side of the street approx 1 mile east. See parking directions.
SOME TIPS …
If you are planning dinner in downtown Naperville for Friday or Saturday nights…They do not take reservations but… They are great about taking names and getting you in within a ½ hour or so if you are early. The best thing to do is to have someone go and put your team’s name in while the rest of you are parking etc. Earlier is better… If you try to get a big group in anywhere after 7:00 the wait will be very long.
If you do not want to mess with the craziness of downtown Naperville to eat, there are great places all around town.
The downtown area is really a very safe and fun place for the players to hang out and there are plenty of less expensive places for them to eat in small groups. (Subway, Jimmy Johns, Potbelly’s etc)
