Hi all, sorry for the delay in the post. As many of you have probably heard, Hert girls have been invited to scrimmage against some new Macalester players this Saturday (tomorrow) at 2PM.
What: Scrimmage
Where: Macalester College (1600 Grand Avenue, St. Paul MN, 55105, at the Leonard Center
campus map (The Leonard Center is number 11 on this campus map)
When: 2-3:30, though some girls have work and we can certainly end early
Roster: These are the girls who have confirmed to me they are playing: Mickela, Lilly, Carmen, Jordan, Addie, Winnie, Sam, Noa, Abigail, and Katie. Jenna and I will be there to coach (and play if needed)

The girls are planning on meeting at Lindbergh at 1:15 and carpooling over. (I can make myself available to drive as well, just let me know!)

There is parking off of Snelling Avenue just south of the Leonard Center and the main entrance to the building is on the west side. We'll be playing in a fieldhouse, so it's a standing-room-only type of environment for those of you that will be coming to spectate.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns (I will be in class prior to the scrimmage, but I will respond asap), 651-336-4182

Upcoming Varsity Tournaments

Varsity Hurtems & Parents,

We got enough to go to Chicago Invite, and we were officially invited to Paideia Cup.

We'll talk more about this at Registration, but there are some action items:

1) Since the girls aren't going to Chicago, we can't get a bus.  We'll need to consider whether we have enough parents to drive, or if we need to rent 15 passenger vans.  Parents, if you are willing to drive to Chicago, please contact either Norma Wolk or Sarah Norsted-Cohen (or speak with one of them at Registration).  We'll need to figure out logistics.

2) Players, please discuss with your parents and then SIGN UP for Paideia.  Since this is a flying tournament and airfare fluctuates, we'd like to make travel decisions by March 1st.  That means that we must have 16 boys signed up in the sign up genius by March 1st.

3) Players, please plan ahead.  You'll be coming off spring break and going into a back-to-back tournament situation.  That means you need to be on top of all your life stuff before & during spring break so you don't suffer for attending these tournaments.

Let's go places.

Upcoming Clinics

Wanna get better at Ultimate?  Some stuff is coming up.

Rise Up is an organization that is partnering with MNYU to provide clinics for both players and coaches.  Registration for their events is here: https://uttc.launchtrack.com/ - Please note that as our sport continues to grow, parents will eventually be in a position to coach 3rd-8th grade teams (kind of like basketball and other varsity sports).  I'm not saying that this is happening anytime soon, but I do want to make sure you know that ANYONE is allowed to attend coaching clinics.  You don't have to be a certified anything to go to those.  So if you're interested in learning more about ultimate, or how to teach throwing etc., consider attending yourself!

The Carleton Ultimate Summer Program (CUSP) is a week-long residential summer experience for rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors held at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. The program focuses on teaching sports psychology, team-building, mental preparedness, and leadership using Ultimate as a vehicle to reinforce these concepts. The Program runs from July 27 to August 2, 2014. Participants will be housed in Carleton residence halls. All meals, activities, and equipment are included in the registration fee. The cost is $675 before April 30, 1014 and $725 after April 30, 2014.  Contact Carleton Summer Ultimate

Registration is also open for quite a few summer ultimate camps:

Others should have 2014 dates soon:

SJU Tournament Update

Hurtems, Parents,
