It is true now that US citizens have to have a passport to enter the Bahamas? (wasn't required the last time we went) - not knowing which teams are even going to play until late in the season there is no way they could secure passports for all players, staff, etc. = How is this handled?

If you're on a cruise, you don't need one. If you're going in by air, you need one. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel ... hamas.html

Passports can be expedited if you have urgent travel within 3 weeks. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel ... -fast.html

I'm sure the school assisted players in getting passports expedited. It's actually a pretty swift process. Even in the normal expedited process, I had mine within 2 weeks after I sent in the application.
