VISITS FROM CADET TEAMS AND CLUBS
Each year, cadet teams and clubs participate in approximately 400 trips throughout the United States. In many cases, the teams and clubs are in need of assistance. By providing such assistance, West Point Societies have established themselves as tremendous sources of support for the Military Academy. In turn, societies reap the benefits of interaction with today’s West Point cadets.
HOW TO FIND OUT IF A CADET TEAM OR CLUB IS VISITING IN YOUR AREA
You can get information about the schedules of teams and clubs from a number of sources:
The easiest thing to do is go to the AOG Societies page at www.aogusma.org/soc. There you will find links to the pages of both the Office of Intercollegiate Athletics (ODIA) and the Directorate of Cadet Activities (DCA) that display schedules.
You may also call the ODIA Sports Information Office at 845-938-3303, or the DCA at 845-938-3913.
Finally, if you have an interest in a specific Corps Squad or Club, you may consult the list of head coaches below for telephone contact information.
DETERMINING TEAM OR CLUB SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS
Most teams require two essentials while traveling: food and lodging, and in cases where the funding for these is limited, societies may be in a position to help. In some cases, transportation assistance may also be required. All coordination with the team should be directly with the team’s Coach or with another person that the coach may designate.
Contact the Coach via telephone or e-mail. Indicate that your society is willing to provide support to the cadet team while it is in your society’s area.
Determine from the Coach what support is required.
Determine how your society may support the trip based on its needs.
Organize within your society a group or committee to spearhead the project. You should include Parents’ Clubs and MALOs whenever appropriate.
SUPPORT TIPS
When lodging requirements have been determined, seek support from graduates and cadet parents.
To avoid surprises, ensure that host families are familiar with team requirements.
Consider a society-hosted BBQ/picnic for large groups.
Last, enjoy the presence of some of the finest young people in America!
