"Hold Back the Snow" Tourney in Winnipeg - October 18 & 19

I hope everyone's had a wonderful summer, filled with ULTIMATE fun. Just wanted to let you mark your calendars for the Hold Back the Snow tourney in Winnipeg. The dates this year are October 18 & 19. Coach Jake has confirmed that Hopkins Ultimate will be represented by two teams. I'll be making the bus and hotel reservations in the very near future. If you have any special requests, please contact me at jdailey@healthmarketer.com. You should know that "Bullet" called me this summer to again tell me how much he enjoyed and admired the Hopkins Ultimate athletes when he accompanied us to West Nationals last spring. He is hoping that we will "allow him to drive the team to Winnipeg this fall." It sure sounds good to me. All in favor?

Upcoming Practices and Events

2014 practices are over. 2015 practices will start in January.

Winter is for two things:
-healing all injuries
-getting stronger

be on the lookout for Boys and Girls workout schedules, coming soon.

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.
