Making sure that your entire high-school baseball team is able to get to and from away games can be time-consuming and stressful as the coach. Chartering a bus to transport everyone on the team to your away games will take that stress away and minimize your game-planning workload. Following are a few good reasons to consider chartering a bus for all of your baseball team's away games.

It's Safe and Convenient

The charter-bus driver who will be transporting your baseball team members has proven that they have a safe driving record and are fully trained. Your driver will also have passed eye and ear screenings that ensure the ability to efficiently and safely operate a large bus, so you can count on your team members to remain safe while on the road.

In addition to optimal safety, there is a lot of conveniences to take advantage of when chartering a bus for your away games. Everyone can leave at the same time; you'll ensure that team members aren't late for warm-ups and practices at the locations of your away games and there should be plenty of room to transport all the equipment that's needed for the game time.

It's Environmental Friendly

Taking a charter bus to your baseball team's away games will eliminate the need for each player to find their own ride, which will reduce congestion on the road and help decrease the team's overall carbon footprint. In fact, based on passenger miles-per-gallon, it is up to seven times for efficient for a baseball team to ride in a charter bus than to drive to away games in separate vehicles.

Teammates Can Prep Together

Chartering a bus for away games will help ensure that the entire team is together before game time so they can pep each other up while making sure that everyone stays on the same page. Coaches will have the chance to work with small and large groups of team members on the bus en route to the game, making sure that nobody is left out of the preparation process.

And traveling together on a charter bus will give everyone an opportunity to build on the camaraderie that has already been established among the team.

Parents Can Catch a Ride

If you charter a big enough bus, team members' parents can catch a ride to and from the away games, which should optimize parent participation and ensure that they show up to cheer their kids on. Having a charter option will make scheduling away games around work, chores and errands more convenient for parents.

You can ask parents who decide to ride the bus to make a small donation for the ride, which should help offset your charter costs and make budgeting easier.

Team Celebrations Are Easy to Plan

Celebrating wins after your away games can be tough to plan if everyone is responsible for their own transportation. But with a charter bus to rely on, you can even plan last-minute meals together at a pizza restaurant or burger joint on the way home from a game you've won.

Whether you want to take the team to the bowling alley, to see the latest 3D movie or to a park for a picnic, chartering a bus will allow you to ensure that every team member is able to participate without having to find their own ride to and from the facilities you plan to visit.
