Parents needing assistance with personal travel to RussMatt Invitationals are also invited to contact Tricia Peightal at Around the World Travel.

It was our team’s first trip to Florida, and understandably, a number of parents had concerns. Tricia explained the process, handled everything from answering questions to making sure everyone’s boarding passes were in order. Tricia took the administrative work off my shoulders, and she definitely put our parents at ease.

While we were in Florida, one of our players got hurt. My responsibility was with the player so Tricia stepped right in and handled all of the administrative challenges that ensued when three of us – the player, the trainer and I missed the flight home. Though initially we had to purchase new return tickets, I was appreciative that Tricia was able to get us a full refund. Everything ended on a good note.
