"Spring"

Hurtems, Hertets & Parents,

Thank you for your patience while we continue to deal with inclement weather.  We are, unfortunately, at the mercy of mother nature and the facilities director at Hopkins in regards to our outdoor season.  When both agree that it's time to play some ultimate, we will be launched into very busy weeks while we all make up league games etc.

As of today (4/20) we will not have access to district fields until 4/29.

Please be aware that while snow is still on the ground, there are a few other things to keep in mind:

- It is up to an individual tournament director to determine the fate of their tournament.  The St. Cloud tournaments are coming up on 4/20 and 5/4-5/5.  We will communicate the TD's decisions as soon as we get them.  An optimistic TD may wait until the day before a tournament to give up and cancel the event.
- Player safety is the most important factor that we consider in these conditions.  If coaches think fields are in any way dangerous they will cancel practices or reschedule games.
- All League games will need to be rescheduled and played despite the delay so far - this means that when the weather cooperates we will have league games on Tuesdays (girls) and Thursdays (boys) but that we could have make up games on another day of the week depending on field availability and the availability of our opponent.  This makes communication with your coaches even more important.  That also means that even though the league schedules for the next 4 weeks have been published here: http://mnyu.org/Seasons.aspx, that this website will not update to show accurate reschedules.  Parents may want to bookmark this link anyway, as all the field addresses of our opponents are listed.

We know that all of this is inconvenient for family scheduling, and we'll do the best we can to give you advanced warning of practices/games/rescheduling/cancellations, but please understand that all of the teams in MN are struggling with field availability and weather right now.  All we can do is our best.

In the mean time, if there is a flat open space near you please feel free to go throw outside.  Just be careful and stay toasty warm.

Thanks,
Erin
