**Take the Bus 250 (East) /Ivy Road. exit and continue straight.
Cross over Emmett St., the road now becomes University Ave.
You will see tennis courts and a big chunk of the UVA campus to your right and a gas station to your left as you cross over Emmett St.
***As you continue straight on University Ave., you will see 14th St. NW and a will go under an overpass train track. Keep going straight.
The road is now called Main St. Continue straight.
Shortly after this you will see 9/10th St. (a Papa Johns will be on your right an a Hampton Inn ahead to your right).
Turn right here onto 9th/10th St. You will pass Crispell Dr., Grove St., King St. (and a few others), and then turn right onto Cherry Ave. At this turn there will be the Korner Restaurant on your right, Ronnie's auto shop on your left, and a Coastal gas station/convenience store ahead to your left.
Once on Cherry Ave., turn left onto 10th St. SW and you'll see Buford Middle School right ahead of you. There will be signs to the gym.
If you miss the turn, and you're still on Cherry Ave. and see Jones St., you've gone too far. There is a fairly easy place to do a U-turn right after that so don't worry.

From the Washington DC area:
Take 66 West to exit 43A/B - it's for 29 South to Charlottesville. You want exit 43A. Once you're on exit 43A, the road splits, stay to the left for 29 South. Once you're on 29 South, just continue straight. This road goes through towns so prepare for some changes in speed. It's much more scenic than the highway though. Stay on 29 South (it may merge with other roads, but just continue straight). When in doubt, stay to the left. You'll come into Charlottesville and the road will widen up to about 4 lanes. You'll pass shopping centers, Walmart, car dealerships, etc for a while. Work you way over to the left. You'll pass over Hydraulic Road. The road narrows down to the two leftmost lanes at this point. Continue past the Barracks Road shopping center (on your right - it's huge). You're still on 29 south but it's called Emmett St. around here. Get in the very left lane if you aren't already. It can get crowded sometimes so getting over to the left early is advisable. You'll come to a point where you have to turn left if you are in the left lane. You are turning left onto University Ave. Continue as *** above.
