Air Force Championships
in Macon, Georgia
IMPORTANT NOTE TO SCHOOLS!
The suggested entry deadline for all schools attending this event is early December. Schools are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED not to make reservations until their program has been accepted into the competition! Without question, the number of schools looking to attend this competition could EXCEED the number of available competition spaces. Because of this, quality schools will no doubt be unable to attend the event. We do not wish to have schools book hotel rooms, then be forced to cancel them. This could make it more difficult to obtain needed rooms in the future.
Schools are welcome to acquire their own hotel rooms or on-base sleeping arrangements anywhere they choose. In fact, we have listed several properties located at the bottom of the page that may be able to provide free ot greatly reduced sleeping arrangements. We do however recommend the hotels below as they are JROTC supporters and they welcome your business. Schools are encouraged to contact those hotels listed below who have gladly stepped to the plate to offer blocks of rooms for the drill competition. Their rates and contact information are included. All schools are encouraged to review TripAdvisor or other hotel rating sites to learn details about the property to see which maintains a level of quality vs. cost that will best work for their group. PLEASE do not contract for hotels UNTIL YOU ARE REGISTERED TO ATTEND THE EVENT! Good luck to all programs!
Our featured hotel is attached to competition site!

GEORGIA ARMORY BILLETS
While I have no personal knowledge of what these units may be able to do for your team, I have been told by several units that ARMY National Guard Armory facilities AND AIR National Guard facilities may provided a very low cost (many times FREE!) alternative for schools looking to overnight somewhere on a tight budget. These units may be able to help, or they may know somewhere nearby (ARMY FACILITIES: Macon, Forsyth & Perry, Georgia / AIR FACILITIES: Macon & Robins, Georgia) that would be of great assistance for those looking to save money.
