Important Notes

Premier will be providing two buses to shuttle to and from the convention center. However, shuttling begins after our Junior practice Friday night. So parents must get the girls to practice Friday night.

Shuttle Buses (from Marriott Marquis Downtown Atlanta to World Congress Center) – Please look for the blue “Premier” Buses. Do not try to ride any other bus as other programs may also have their buses picking up in the same location. The shuttle buses will pick up and drop off at the Courtland Street side which is down the escalator to the International Level and out the doors to the left. It is marked “Courtland Street”. Hopefully, if there aren’t any problems, the buses will pick up from the World Congress Center where you are dropped off which should be the front of the building.
