Spring team meeting-March 4th

Sunday, March 4th, 7:00 pm, West Jr High cafeteria

We'll be holding our spring meeting 3/4, with players going directly to the structure for Sunday evening practice immediately following the meeting. This meeting is important for both players and parents to attend; we'll be discussing the whole spring season. Players, please make it a priority to attend with at least one parent.

After an all team meeting, we will break out into individual teams so you'll be able to receive team specific information, and parents can ask any questions they may have of their players coaches.

We'll be talking about the Hustle, which will be taking place May 19-20 this year. There are requirements of each team, which we'll discuss, and we ask for parental support in order to make sure all of these tasks are completed. We also need parent volunteers to make the Hustle happen; we can't do it without you! We'll have sign up sheets for various opportunities, so please be prepared to choose something that suits you.

Other topics of discussion;

Looking forward to seeing you all March 4th!

St. John's Indoor Tournament

Varsity/JV,

On February 25th we will be in Collegeville, MN (1.5 hours away) playing in an indoor 5 on 5 tournament at St. John's University.  We are bringing 2 teams, we'd like to bring at least 10 players for each team.

Games start at 1pm - an end date has not been set yet, but by my estimate we will be there until about 6pm.  Varsity, please be prepared to stay later to scrimmage SJU.

If you would like to attend, please post in the comments - use my example as a guide:

Erin Mirocha, Varsity, my mom can drive

Thanks!

Btw: you must be REGISTERED to play in this tournament.

Chicago Invite

The Varsity and Girls teams will be traveling to Naperville Illinois March 23-25 to play in the Chicago Invite. We need to make a decision in the next few days regarding transportation. I need to know how many parents are planning on joining us this year in order to determine whether we can carpool again or we need to use a bus. There's a big difference in the overall price of the trip depending on the mode of transportation. This is a really fun tournament to attend; I can't promise you perfect weather, but every parent who's gone to the Chicago Invite before will tell you they had a great time and watched some awesome Ultimate! The team will reimburse drivers for their gas, but you are responsible for your own hotel room. We haven't finalized our hotel reservations yet, but generally stay at a hotel that serves a free breakfast, and try to keep the cost around $80.00 a night.

Please email me, by the end of this week, at semekler@gmail.com if you (or your parent, if you're a player) are interested in traveling with us.

Found!!

Someone left their Audi keys at Varsity practice. Pokey has them. Call me to claim!

Jersey Numbers and Sizes

Hello Hurt Varsity and JV,

The time has come to order Jerseys, Post a choice of three numbers and your size in the comments so we can get your jerseys to you asap. If you dont choose a number or size, one will be assigned to you. The sooner people post, the sooner we can order Jerseys so tell your brothers to sign up quickly.

BOARD MEETING POSTPONED

The Board meeting scheduled for tomorrow night, Monday, February 6th, has been postponed. The new date is the following Monday, February 13th, 7:00 at Sara's house~12410 Huntingdon Lane, Mtka.

If you aren't on the Board but are interested in getting more involved, please join us. We always need/want more parents to participate in a variety of ways. This is a good opportunity to learn a little more about the team, and get to know the coaches and other parents.

Practice schedule information - Winter 2012

Hurtems, Hertets and Parents,

Now that we have all of our practice locations set, you will be able to find up to date practice information on the side navigation, both in the "upcoming events" and "Hurt Calendar" features.

We are trying to get these items scheduled as far in advance as we can.  Sunday practices, for example, are already entered into the Calendar until the end of March.  Weekday practices are dependent on coach availability, so we may not be able to set those so far in advance.

I've also added our Spring 2012 tournaments.  Some of these tournament dates are tentative.  For several of these tournaments we will be submitting a bid to attend, but our participation is not guaranteed.  This list will be updated as our bids are accepted and dates solidify.

To reiterate, it is every Hurtem or Hertet's responsibility to check the blog, most of the family checks it every day.

If you have a player that is new to Ultimate at Hopkins, please refer to the registration details in the sidebar or contact Sara Mekler.

Erin
