We are not quite done :-)

Thank you to all the Players, Coaches, Team Parents, Board members and Parents for doing all that each one of you did this year.  It was wonderful to see so many people last night at the banquet and alumni game!  
But we are still 'in season' until we finish the State Tournament on 
Sunday, June 8!  The signupgenius is updated and live! PLEASE sign up ASAP. 
I'm still in need of a parent volunteer for State.  It's Mandatory that each school provide 1 (or more ) volunteers for Sundays tournament to take place.  It is either a morning or afternoon shift and there are perks for those who help.  If there aren't enough volunteers, no tournament.  Please let me know if you, a family member, friend, alumni, employee ..... are able to help.  

Here is part of the email sent to coaches yesterday!

"We are up to 12 volunteers.  A great start, but many more needed!  I count 31 schools attending on June 8.  And at least 3 of our current 12 are actually coaches from schools which aren't competing on June 8.  So it seems that most of your schools are still a volunteer short!

Here is the current list of volunteers.  Please visit and note if your volunteer is already signed up.  And remember, once you have your school's volunteer lined up for the volunteer requirement, please have that person signup on our website for a morning or afternoon shift."

Please consider taking a few hours to volunteer.    

I am looking forward to Sunday and seeing as many, if not more, fans supporting our teams!

Thanks for an amazing year :-)

STATE TOURNAMENT UPDATE

The Minnesota Youth Ultimate board and coaches spent many hours discussing the best way to reschedule bracket play from today's tournament cancellation. 


Please read the following excerpts from the MNYU board:

"the board has decided that the best option remaining is Sunday, June 8 at the National Sports Center.  We made this decision for a number of reasons, including that no other option had more Yes votes on the survey.  The NSC also has fields available on that day."  

"Schedule for Sunday, June 8.  We currently intend for the schedule for Sunday to be the same as ne 1 (before any lightning-related adjustments.)  So other than the date and the field assignments, we intend the same schedule to take place as is in the program, the USAU website"

"However, we also know that some teams won't be able to make it, so we will likely tweak that schedule after the commitment deadline to promote competitive fairness and maximize quality playing opportunities for all teams.  So please plan for games to take place between 9:00 am and 5:30 pm on Sunday, June 8"

"Saturday Pool Play Makeup Game.  As I mentioned earlier today, we will need teams to makeup theSaturday 2:30 pool play game prior to Sunday, June 8.  Please communicate with your opposing coach immediately, if you haven't already, to setup a time to play the game this week."

We know from our own Hustle tournament decision making process,  there is never a perfect solution.   The MNYU board relies on volunteers, as do we, to organize, set up, staff and run the the State Ultimate  tournament. ( because volunteers will be difficult to come by,  a discussion mandating every team give the tournament a volunteer is on the table )

I know  many players and their families have graduation parties, travel plans including camp departures  next weekend.   Please keep in mind over 70 teams are in the same place we are.  

Coaches will be asking  for player "commitment to play" on June 8th starting ASAP.   There is a deadline of 8pm tomorrow for teams to "commit to participate".   Players,  prior to telling your coach yes of no PLEASE  check with your parents 1st.   It is crucial we have accurate roster counts by the deadline.

Sunday of State - No Games Today

Sorry all,

I got an email at 6:02am that NSC has pulled the fields for today.

MNYU is going to be having a lot of discussions today about what our options are, and I will communicate them as soon as I can.

But for today, we need to spread the word that there are no games today.  I know that the carpool might already be at Lindbergh, so help me out and call a family member so this news trickles down.

Thanks,
Erin
