the upa is in the final push of its strategic planning process. right now it has a membership survey up on the upa.org website that will gauge members' opinions on all sorts of things - series restructure,observers, league organization - but the important thing for all of us is women's participation in ultimate and how to improve it and increase it.
this is a super important survey for how it will direct the upa's strategic plan, and right now only 18% of respondents play in the women's division... but the decisions that are made based on the results will affect us just as much as anybody! so if you haven't filled out the survey, please do. it takes about 40minutes, but you can make it shorter by choosing to skip questions that don't interest/pertain to you.
we always need more women active in what's going on with ultimate -this is our chance. here's the survey link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=10fxKj_2bIteX_2fV5QvUJp35g_3d_3d
thanks.

All players should bring the following to every practice: cleats, a dark shirt, a WHITE (not gray) shirt, your OWN water, and a disc (if you have one). Dress for the weather. We play through all weather (if fields are playable) except thunder and lightning. Every HUrtem is responsible for being Toasty Warm, and for transporting their water/gear TO AND FROM the fields. We leave the field better than we found it

2014/2015 Potential Tournaments
The following Tournaments and approx dates are for PLANNING purposes only! I receive many requests for tournament dates, practice days etc... for the entire year. This is quite difficult to do however, I'm trying to inform parents/players as early as possible. I do not have exact dates/times for several events Unless our participation is marked CONFIRMED our involvement is contingent on our 'Bid' being accepted. This means players signed up accurately, parents signed up accurately and their availability to provides transportation and/or chaperone at these events.
NOTE: Many changes are happening with our 'traditional' tournament format. Events we always plan to participate at during the year have changed their dates, bid process or in one case, the tournament itself may not happen this spring. We are exploring alternate options as noted below. The list below is NOT COMPLETE. It is what I have at this time. Thanks, Debbi.

What is Hopkins Ultimate?
Mission: The goal of HUrt and HERt Force is to promote the sport of Ultimate within the Twin Cities through participation in, encouragement of, and recruitment for every level of Ultimate, including high school, club and college play. And, to strive for the highest level of competitive excellence in Ultimate.
What's Ultimate? Two teams of seven players compete on a field 70 yards long, 30 yards wide. Everyone is free to move, except the person with the disc. Upon catching the disc, you stop, and pass it within 10 seconds or it's a turnover. If someone drop the disc or it's intercepted, that's a turnover. Play rarely stops except for a score. A point is scored when a player catches the disc in an end-zone 25 yards deep. Typically, the first team to reach 15 points (with a two-point margin) wins, but there are some variations to cap the length of time played. The game is self-officiated.

I filled out some of this survey as well, and it can be very comprehensive. Parents and players: if you want your voice heard as to where the money you are spending with the UPA is going, fill out the survey and let them know!
