These wristbands are included as part of the Team Registration fee – there is no extra charge for them.

Admission Ticket Info



All family, friends, and fans of all teams, players, and coaches must register as guests....i.e. pay a fee to see your child play.

Registered guests will receive either a One Day Registration for $15 per day or a Weekend Guest Registration wristband for $40 ($30 if registered online).

A one-day Registration is valid only for the day on which it is picked up.
Click here for complete CHC Guest Registration information.

 

Players Wristbands: A coach or team rep will be issued wristbands for each player on the roster. A player will have to make plans with her coach to receive their wristband if she will be entering the facility prior to the coach’s arrival. Players will not be issued a replacement band for lost or forgotten bands.


 


Coolers, Food And Chairs

NO COOLERS of any kind, of any size, or for any reason are permitted in the Washington Convention Center. Coolers left inside the building will be removed to the outside of the building. Coolers left outside the building are the sole responsibility of the owner, but may be confiscated if security deems them a hazard. Neither Capitol Hill Classic, Metro American VBC nor the facility will assume any responsibility for coolers or providing a place for them.

NO LARGE BAGS, BALLOONS, CHAIRS OR OUTSIDE FOOD ALLOWED:
No outside food can be brought into the Convention Center building, not even into the lobby. This is a Convention Center rule that we must enforce as a condition of our contract; it is not our rule. We understand people don't like this and neither do we. But we are bound by the terms of the contract and cannot negotiate this away. We apologize for any inconvenience it causes.

In this post-9/11 world, major facilities reserve the right to restrict any items being brought into the building that they consider to be a problem; this includes personal seating and other large containers. We do provide seating for spectators at each court. Teams will be penalized if supporters hassle the security staff about these rules. Please abide by the rules and let the tournament be enjoyable for everyone.

 



DIG PINK & THE 2015 CAPITOL HILL CLASSIC

Yes, the 2nd day is still Dig Pink day so wear something pink!



Teams are already creating cards & raising funds, and to reach our goals we need your club too! The deadline to submit cards and funds is March 31 in order to receive FREE Assist Club shirts for your team.
