The Mansfield Sportsplex is a newly built, 70,000 square foot indoor facility located 40 minutes south of downtown Boston. There are four full courts (two composite floors and two wooden floors), a sports bar that serves cold drinks and hot food, an indoor turf field, weight room, and locker rooms.

The limit to each room is 5 people per room.

The room type is one king sized bed and you must request a rollaway bed (cot) upon making your reservations. The hotel manager has agreed to allow air mattresses in the rooms.

Group Name: MASAE Hoops

Nightly Group Rate: $99.99 per night (includes rollaway bed charge)

Complimentary breakfasts available to all guests.

We apologize for the late update, but due to two major AAU tournaments taking place the same weekend as our tournament; hotels in the area are booked and unavailable for group rates. This hotel was the only one in the area willing to give us a group rate this late in planning. Unfortunately all of the double bed rooms for this hotel are booked. The king sized bed rooms will have cots upon request and may not be available to everyone.

Due to the high volume of reservations in the area at this time of the year, this group rate will only last until Tuesday, July 6, 2010 and less than 10 rooms left. Please reserve a room as soon as possible. Our suggestion is that you reserve rooms for your team and if you find a better room and rate elsewhere, you may cancel without any penalties as long as it is done 24 hours before your stay date(s).
