On-site restrooms will also be provided, with access for players only, with additional restrooms for spectators being located a few steps away at Yard House.  There will not be any lockers or secure storage on site, so only bring what is needed and leave your valuables at home as the South Beach Slam cannot be held responsible for the individual valuables of players on site.
