Coach O is pleased to announce its new alliance with Marriott Hotels & Resorts. Marriott will serve as the Preferred Hotel Partner for Coach O, the  leader in on line registration for youth athletics. Reservations can be found at: http://www.coacho.com/main/marriott/FormA.html.

Coach O is a company that specializes in bags and sports gear that are of high quality, are inexpensive, and will enhance the visibility of your school, program, or organization.

Quality is a singular word that defines not what we do, but the standard to which we work
and build relationships in sports.  Some turn to Coach O for equipment or shoes, others for online registration and still others for event management.  All of our customers experience customized service and yes, the highest of quality.

Bags by Coach O is a one-stop place  for all your track and field needs including equipment,  uniforms, shoes, medals, trophies, watches and more.  We have competitive prices, unmatched service and give personalized attention.

Coach O Registration simplifies things for you with online registration for track meets, sports camps, clinics, cross country meets, road races and more.  We are the host for thousands of events annually with on-line registration.

Coach O Event Management is a turn-key service with everything needed for conducting and managing an event that qualifies as “best in class”.

This alliance and branding effort will help the track and field customers that work through Coach O Registration and Coach O Event Management to manage travel costs and this will enable the Marriott to assist traveling teams and their families as they compete throughout the nation. Marriott hopes that this alliance will increase the likelihood that families will choose Marriott Hotels and Resorts for their vacations and weekend getaways, as well as for their business travel, as permitted. With more than 3,700 properties and the broadest portfolio of brands in the industry, Marriott has been in business for more than 80 years and has built a culture and tradition of innovation and service.

When asked to comment on this new relationship, Sandy Anderson, Florida’s Marriott Account Executive stated: "Marriott is very excited about the opportunity to work with the track and field community through Coach O. This initiative gives us great visibility to the Track and Field community, many of whom travel for business and pleasure. It was the perseverance and vision of Coach O that made this alliance possible.”
