PARKING AT THE OASIS 
Do not park in the stalls to the west on the south AND north side of our building.  Our neighbor (ASAP) to the west is a company like UPS and they need access to their garage doors 24 hours a day.  Please make sure you do not park in front of their garage doors. We have additional parking on the north side of the building when we have tournament weekends, but do not park on the west side because they need to be able to get their trucks in.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Exciting news, Nebraska Impact's Kayla Haneline from the 181 Rage team made the USA Volleyball High Performance Continental Team and is an A2 Alternate.  The final roster has not been announced yet.  Maybe we will see Kayla some day playing in the Olympics!  Congratulations, Kayla!!!

WEATHER CANCELLATIONS FOR NEBRASKA IMPACT PRACTICES

Even if schools have been cancelled for the day, Nebraska Impact has decided to continue practices if the weather permits.  If the weather is a factor, we will have updates on our website throughout the day. If you are not sure, please check with your coach to see if your practice is not being held.
