New this year: Hotel accommodations (at your own expense). Coronado Springs is holding 20 rooms for Friday and/or  Saturday night stays during the event. The cost should be $119.00 per night plus tax.  If you are interested in a room, contact Rhonda at the Florida PAL office ASAP.

DON’T FORGET TO WEAR YOUR PAL T-SHIRT AND SNEAKERS!! You of course will need swimwear {Please no revealing or distasteful swimwear and absolutely no thongs}.

Please remember that a Participant Application , PHOTO, BIRTH CERTIFICATE and Release of Liability and Indemnity (signed and notarized), Field Day Registration Form and a T-shirt Breakdown must be received by the deadline of May 15, 2008 for every youth and adult participant.  There will be no turn around time for corrections-all paperwork must be complete and correct or the participant missing information will be dropped. Please make sure to use the correct forms. Contact the SFAPAL office for the private link to any forms you cannot find online. 

If your participant(s) have a FL PAL issued Kids Trax Card then all they need is a new release of liability if they haven't sent in a new one for 2008 calendar year.

Important Adult Ratio Requirement
Adults: Because this is a State PAL event that involves water we are
requiring that each PAL have 1(one) –adult for every 10 (ten) youth they bring.

Maximum Participation will be 225 total. So this event being an easy qualifier is first come/first serve. Your State Office strongly advises you register earlier rather than later as space is limited to 225 participants.

Good Standing:   Please be advised that members in bad standing cannot benefit from monies provided by state pal for regional expenses etc etc. If your chapter has any outstanding invoices or are in bad standing please be advised in order for your youth and adults to attend you will need to pay in advance in a check or money order made out to Florida PAL.  Only PALS in good standing will be covered for this event. If your PAL chapter has not submitted proof of insurance then they will not be allowed to attend this event.

Florida PAL will pay for the following: Lunch and T-shirts.

Registration Limit: SFAPAL member chapters in good standing can bring 8 youth and 2 adults all paid for by Florida PAL. Should you choose to exceed this number then your PAL will need to pay in advance for additional youth and adults. All monies are due prior to May 15, 2008. No Exceptions and No refunds.

·        If you have been issued a Kids Trax card by Florida PAL you can check the forms on file option if not then new forms are required.  

·        Should you call/contact the State Office needing to drop (or cancel) youth and/or adults –you PAL will be charged a fee of $39.50 per person and your PAL will be in bad standing until said funds are paid. Florida PAL understands that circumstances may arise where you need to change a kid or two so that being said your state office will allow up to ‘two’ participant changes (meaning 2 youth changes if you are forced to remove a kid and would like to bring someone else in their place). However please be advised that the last day that you can change an already enrolled participant without charge is June 5, 2008.

  • Admission fees for PAL’s that exceed 10 [or are in bad standing] will need to submit $39.50 per participant in advance. You may charge the fees to Mastercard or Visa by contacting our bookkeeper Juliya Moody on Wednesdays only- prior to the deadline.
