  • If you would like to visit with your athlete(s) during the Games, arrangements need to be made with the coaching staff. We encourage all teams to plan for family visits during the Games, however many factors need to be considered, including team schedules, transportation, meal times, etc. It is also important to note, only those with Games accreditation are allowed in the Athletes’ Village, therefore it cannot be used as a meet-up location.
