Registration information will be coming soon

Captain's practices are underway, and have been well attended so far! These will continue at Lions Park until school starts; watch the top right section of the blog for the dates and times. These are open to anyone who thinks they may want to play, and are a great opportunity to try out Ultimate, even if you're not sure yet about joining the team.

We'll have the date for our registration meeting soon, and will post all details here.

Planning ahead-Winnipeg trip

We are planning on sending 2 teams to Winnipeg to play in the Hold Back the Snow tournament once again this year. We will be leaving on Friday, October 14th and returning on Sunday, October 16th. We are limited by tournament rules as to how many people we can put on our roster, and last year weren't able to take everyone who wanted to go. Some things that may play a factor in decisions, you'll have no control over, such as taking older players over younger. But, that being said, you can prepare by doing some of the following;

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VALID PASSPORT!! YOU WILL NOT BE GOING ON THE TRIP IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE AND CAN'T PROVIDE SARA WITH THE INFORMATION THE MONDAY BEFORE THE TRIP.

ATTEND PRACTICE, AND LET YOUR COACH KNOW(ONCE OFFICIAL PRACTICES START)IF YOU WON'T BE THERE.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE WORKED AT THE CUB FUNDRAISER THIS SUMMER OR THAT YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER ARE SIGNED UP TO DO SO~WE STILL HAVE 2 MONTHS OF THURSDAYS LEFT, WHICH REPRESENT A LOT OF MONEY TO THE TEAM...YOUR COACHES WILL BE CHECKING TO SEE IF YOU PARTICIPATED IN THIS AS WE TOLD YOU IT WAS REQUIRED LAST SPRING. ONCE SCHOOL STARTS THE AFTERNOON SHIFT CAN BE 3-6, SO PEOPLE CAN COME WORK RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL.

Parents, this is a great trip to come along on! We will once again be travelling by coach bus with wireless Internet, and the kids love to have a good cheering section during their games! We will have all the details including the cost for players and parents soon!

NEXT LEVEL ULTIMATE CLINIC

Hurt players and potential players; there are still spots available for the Next Level Ultimate clinic being held at Lake Nokomis tomorrow through Saturday from 9-4. This is a wonderful way to jump start your season and learn new skills from some talented Ultimate players and coaches. Next Level is run by Ben Feldman, a HURT alum, and a great ultimate player! Next Level sponsored our varsity team this year, and we are very proud to be affiliated with them.


Ben has indicated that it's possible to attend the clinic even if you aren't able to be there all three days. Many of our team members will be leaving early for captain's practice tomorrow. Please contact Ben at the Next Level website if you are able to attend! Lets show some support for our sponsor!

YCC weekend

Hurtems,

Just wanted to let everyone know that our very own Ryan Franklin is gracing the homepage of USA Ultimate today following the YCC tournament.

We had an amazing number of Hurt players and alumni representing Minnesota on the Open U19, Open U16 and Mixed teams. Everyone played well, and though I wasn't able to get over and watch the U16 teams - the stories I heard about our Hurtems were all positive.

I'm also incredibly proud of the number of Hurt players who volunteered or came out to support the Minnesota teams. A big thank you to everyone who did so.

Our season is right around the corner - I hope you've been using these beautiful days to get out and throw. See you soon!

Erin

YCC - Scorekeepers needed

Hurtems, Hertets & Parents-

In less than two weeks the annual USA Ultimate Youth Club Championships tournament is happening at the National Sports Center in Blaine.

The tournament will take place Saturday and Sunday, Aug 13-14, and they need scorekeepers throughout the weekend. It's not a hard job, and you have the best seat in the house for some great ultimate.

Many of your teammates are playing in this tournament, and from a club perspective it's a very good opportunity to show your non-ultimate friends what we're all about (ahem, recruit!). Hopkins has been really good at providing volunteers at this event in the past few years, so let's keep it going!

To volunteer, contact:
Dave Gregg (612-280-6417)
2011 YCC Volunteer Coordinator
Volunteer signup: http://mnhsultimate.org/volunteeruc.aspx
Tournament information: http://www.usaultimate.org/competition/youth_division/youth_club_championships/default.aspx

...by the way...
Saturday the 13th, Erin will be playing in the YCC Coaches exhibition game at the NSC stadium. So if you volunteer on Saturday - you can stay and heckle :)

Cub Foods Fundraiser

Players, we need you to spend some time at the Cub food wagon!! All of you should be working at least one shift this summer, preferably more, to make sure we have enough help every week, and to ensure that we're representing Hopkins Ultimate positively to the community. There are 5 more Thursday's at Cub before school starts and I really want to see the team pitching in. We've had a lot of parent volunteers, and a few players who've worked multiple shifts, but now that people are returning from camp it's time to finish the summer strong!

The link to the calendar is on the right

This money benefits all of you, so you all need to participate in earning it!
