Luther College Ultimate Camp


Greetings Hopkins Ultimate Players,

Luther College will host their Ultimate Frisbee Camp again this summer, June 24-27. We invite you and any of your friends to join us for what will be another great year of competition and fun. Come improve your skills and learn more about what it takes to succeed in the college game from captains of both the Men's and Women's teams. The camp is for boys and girls anyone ages 14-19. Whether you have been playing Ultimate for 4 years or you are just beginning, this is the camp for you. The Luther Camp is a comprehensive experience where beginners learn the ins and outs of Ultimate and experienced players sharpen both technical and tactical skills. In the evenings we take a break from the rigor of training sessions to enjoy a range of activities from swimming and disc golf, to scavenger hunts. We hope you'll join us this year!

Please see the attached postcard for more information or go to http://luther.edu/programming/camps/frisbee/ to register.

Bring four of your friends and you get a group discount!!

Contact us with questions. Please feel free to forward this email on to anyone who might be interested.

Cheers!

Knollwood Cub Foods Fundraiser

Yesterday was our first day of selling hamburgers, hot dogs and brats at Cub and I have to admit, I had fun! Thank you to Randy Steinman, Benny Greenfield and Zach Mekler for being the first to help me run the stand. We were all amazed at how popular this is; it was hopping all day long. That being said, the stand can be run with 2 people at a time, but is easier and more efficient with 3. Cub supplied us with an employee most of the day yesterday, but that won't always be the case. Please check your calendars and email me to sign up for a shift. Parents and players don't have to be able to work together; a lot of the players will be gone at camp from mid June through July so any parent or alum volunteers during this time will really be appreciated. Although I learned quickly that we should try to have players there as often as possible; within 30 minutes of arriving Benny and Zach had recieved more tips than we'd gotten in 3 1/2 hours!



Shifts are 10:30-2 and 2-5:30 every Thursday through August. You should plan to arrive a few minutes early(@10min for the a.m. shift) and we found that we were done yesterday by 5:40.

my email address is smekler@aol.com

JV Meetup at State -- Updated

JV Players and Parents,

Here is a link to the field map for State.

http://mnhsultimate.org/2010/10_Ultimate%20HS%20Champs_Map.pdf


Our fields are C1 and U3, which are at the South end of the entire NSC. You will probably want to park in the main lot next to the Schwan Center.

We will need one captain to attend the captain's meeting at Tournament Central, which is relatively far away and on the North side of 105th Ave. Either Eazy or I will also attend while the rest of the team warms up.

For transportation to State, we will follow Varsity's lead at meet at Lindbergh by 7:15.
Players are responsible for their own rides to Blaine. Be there by 8:00.
