Hey Guys,
Great work today. A little recap. We got 8 points scored on us in five games. The most being 3 in one game. Everyone played great but the youngs (eli,wex, ethan) really played well and held there own out there, giving everyone something to fear in the coming years.
AS FOR TOMORROW:
The Varsity team's first game is at 9:00 AM on Sunday morning.
Due to the lengthy drive to the fields we will be meeting at the Lindbergh parking lot at 7:05.24(seconds) AM. DO NOT BE LATE. WE WILL RUN SPRINTS. This will give us time for a comfortable drive to Maple Plain, and ample time to warm up before our first game.
Expect to drive to the polo fields when you arrive at Lindbergh, so be there with a car if you are able to.
Also, with the increase is gas prices lately, please bring money to give whoever drives you.
Our schedule for the rest of the day is posted here http://upa.org/scores/tourn.cgi?div=121&id=4817
Varsity, we have one day left, lets leave as champs. Hydrate tonight and get a good nights sleep. Get ready to go tomorrow morning.
Championship mentality 'til the end

JV at State
Tournament Info (again): http://www.mnhsultimate.org/state.aspx
(check out the 'Open Schedule' link down the page too)
Map & Directions
Saturday: We will meet at the Lindberg fields at 7:00, so we can carpool with Varsity. Games go till 6pm. Can somebody host a team showing of "The Karate Kid" for Saturday night? Now that's an inspirational movie.
Sunday, I expect that we'll leave the same time, 7.
Bracket: The TD needed us to play in the competitive bracket, because we are a better team than just the chump champs (and better than our ranking #). So now we have to play some varsity teams that we've beat before, and some more serious competition, aka, a real tournament. So no whining, it's unbecoming of us warriors. Bring your best and come ready for the peak of your season.

Girls' game tomorrow is on
We are playing tomorrow at 6pm. Sorry, he wasn't cool with rescheduling because they have already had to reschedule some games and may need next week to make them up. And he already has players coming late so we can't play early. Be there at 5:15 to warm. We'll play down if we have to. Remember that we are on the field by the elementary school. See you there.
JV practice today (Mon 5/19) cancelled
Rest 'em up & get your homework done, no JV practice today. Sorry for the late notice. Don't forget to stretch, it will improve and speed recovery so you can come back stronger and faster. Spend 1 minute on each stretch you do. See you on Wednesday.

Next week: Monday practice cancelled due to coaches being gone for memorial weekend. (Feel free to hold a captain's practice if you'll be around). Practice will be from 4 - 6:30 Tuesday and Thursday.

JV Victorious!
Hurt JV won the Junior Varsity Open division of the Granite City Classic today, taking home a nice slab of granite to prove it. More satisfying perhaps, the team went on to take the consolation bracket of the Varsity Open division. Final count for the weekend: 7-0.
Big props to all players, everybody played their hearts out. Thanks to the parents who supported our side line and to the drivers who got us there & back safe. I'd like to point out that the tournament was well-run this year, on schedule, flexible and with all expected amenities. Please post in the comments about thanks, game summaries & sick plays.

Please meet at the HS at 4:45 to carpool to the game. You'll get there around 5, leaving plenty of time to warm up, stretch and do some drills since we didn't practice yesterday. Today is also a good time to talk briefly about, and put into play during the game, what you can change from this weekend to make things run even better.
PLEASE text or call a coach if you will not be there. I don't remember who told me they couldn't make it, so humor me and do it again.
Thanks!

JV Practice attendance
Players, we are coming upon the end of the season and we need to make sure that we are on the same page for State. Also, it is extremely frustrating for me to bust my keister to get to Hopkins to have 6 players show up and only 2 contacting me about missing practice. >=( Please make every effort to get to practice and on time, and tell me the day before if you are going to miss (tell me that day if you can't help it, but I will grumble if it's a lame excuse.) Big thanks to those of you who make every practice, you know who you are =).
About homework, plan out your homework a couple of days ahead of time, your teachers will probably be happy to help if you ask them. Let me know if you are having difficulty in this regard.

JV Face-Off info
Map & Directions
Be at Lindberg at 6:50 am Tomorrow morning. We'll be back in town by about 8 pm, depending on whether your car stops for dinner.
Bring $10 for your tourney fee. Bring raingear and prepare for toasty warmness. If you like food, pack a lunch (there is a lunch break, and we may be able to make a food run, but there probably won't be a concession at the fields.) And for heaven's sake, don't forget your cleats ;)
Call or text me if you have questions.

JV Away Game this Week - Thursday (5/08)
Update: Field at CP Adams Park Map & Directions
Update (bumped from below): We will be meeting at 3:20 at our practice fields and leaving for Hastings at 3:30. Please be on time, every minute later that we leave means more traffic.
We play the Hastings Huck team this week at their fields. Their captain has asked if we can begin the game by 5pm instead of 6pm, as most of their team has a Jazz band concert at 7. This would mean that we would need to meet at 3:20 and leave our fields at 3:30, it's a bit of a trek. Can we swing this? Please post if you can drive or if the time is too early for you. I'll update on the game based on the replies.

JV Tournament - Granite City Classic
The JV is going to the Granite City Classic on May 17th and 18th in St. Cloud. We'll be driving there and back both days, (it's an hour and 15 minutes away.) Please post if you can attend and if you can provide transportation.
JV Face Off this weekend
We've been preoccupied by the Hustle, but the JV Face-Off in St. Cloud has been rescheduled for this Saturday, the 10th of May. This is a one-day tournament, and I'd like to take 2 full lines. We'll be meeting at the fields at 6:50 in the morning and getting back around 8 pm (games go to 6, but we'll probably want to stop and eat). This is separate from the Granite City classic, which is the weekend after that (17th & 18th) Fee will be $10.
Please post if you want to go and if you can help provide transportation for the team. Please post only on the JV Face-off, I'll post another for the Granite City Classic. Reply soon, if we can't get numbers, I'll cancel our bid.

A message from the DenverInvite host family to HERt Force players
Mike,
I've been meaning to write to let you know how much Paula and I enjoyed all of the items that the girls gave us. This afternoon, we sat down for another very nice cup of tea which, once again, reminded us of the HURT girls.
I am also reminded of your visit this evening as I step into our basement where all of the girls stayed so peacefully. This evening I have all of the East High team down there playing games and dying their hair red (the East High color) before the State High School tournament begins in the morning.
The hair color reminds me of that candy apple red color that was popular on muscle cars when we were kids. Today, the state social services case workers might consider this a form of self mutilation as each person willingly undergoes the treatment (preceeded, or course, by bleaching ones hairs so the color really stands out).
Please pass on my best to the team, as well as to all of the parents.

We play Henry Sibley on Wednesday and St. Paul Open on Thursday, both Home games. Be ready to go at 5:00 with your cleats on and ready to focus. Let me know if you're going to be late.
We also play one of our biggest tournaments this weekend, The Hustle. These games can pull together our team, but we need everybody to come out firing on all cylinders. Which reminds me: Max T & Deric B, I still need your UPA #s or you won't be able to play.

JV Face off postponed till may 10th?
Sorry folks, just got word of this. Due to expected weather, the organizers are trying to put it off till May 10th. Is there still interest in for that date? Enjoy your now wide open weekend.
RESCHEDULED EP GAME FOR MONDAY
We are heading down to Eden Prairie (Round Lake fields) for our league game this coming Monday (28 April). Please work with each other to carpool - and hey, I'll need a ride too.
Plan to be at the fields at 5p - we'll get in a little practice beforehand.
So this makes next week's schedule this:
SUNDAY - practice from 2:30 - 5 at Lindbergh fields
MONDAY - game at EP, be there at 5p
TUESDAY - game at Twin Cities Academy (TBD what time to meet for carpooling)
THURSDAY - regular practice from 4- 6:30p
SAT & SUN - the Hustle, baby!

JV Face Off
Here's the final Roster:
We'll be meeting by the Lindberg fields behind the High School at 6:55 am tommorow. Bring $10 for the tournament and be on time, we need to arrive there no later than 8:30 so it's a bit of a tight schedule.
Also, eat breakfast, get good sleep, and it wouldn't hurt to stretch the night before. It will be chilly, so bring appropriate equipment to keep you toasty warm all day (rain gear, etc.) We will win the weather factor.
Again, Bring $10, or else. Call or email Coach Russ with questions (contact info in comments.)

Practice - HERt Force
Today's practice was cancelled due to poor attendance, not the weather. And since Monday's practice was also poorly attended, there will be a manditory practice this Sunday from 2:30 - 5p; be there. We have two back to back tournaments the next two weeks which you all know you are not yet ready for. Remember that you get out of this team what you put in it. The coaches are here for you, it's time to do your part.
JV Game Canceled
Our game today (the 24th) against Henrey Sibley is canceled because of expected thunderstorms. We will make up the game next Wednesday, the 30th, instead of practice.

We'll be playing Henry Sibley at home (the High School) this Thursday, show up at 5 and be ready to go at 5:15.
Also, if you are going to miss a team event like a practice or a game, you should tell me the day before to preserve your attendance record.

JV Face-Off this weekend:
Updated roster:
I know there are more people interested in playing this weekend than this. Because of Prom, a lot of our older players aren't going, so this is a chance for some of you younger guys to step up. Post in the comments if you are going and if you can bring a parent to drive, we'll need a couple more.
Cost will be $10, please give to Coach Russ at practice or Thursday's game (if the game is canceled because of weather, we'll work something else out.)
We'll be leaving about 7 am from the High School and returning around 8 pm that evening. Let me know if you have questions.

JV Tournaments
Just to make sure that everybody is on the same page:
JV-Face Off - St. Cloud - April 26
This is a one day tournament for the area's JV squads, should be some great completion. Prom is also on this day, so many of our Juniors and Seniors can't make it. If you are new to the team you should try to attend. Details to follow.
Hopkins Hustle - Maple Plain - May 3 & 4
I'm assuming everybody knows about this one already, but make sure it is prominent on your calendars. We will be carpooling from the High School both days.
Granite City Classic - St. Cloud - May 17 & 18
This will be a good warm up for State. We will need parents to drive and support the team on both days.
MNHSUL State Tournament - Maple Plain - May 30 & June 1
This is the culmination of our season, and the definitive test of our team. Again, we will be carpooling from the High School both mornings.

LADIES UPDATE for MONDAY
Congratulations to the Mudbath women's runner-up team! It was tough to lose in the finals, but it just fuels us to work even harder as we approach our own Hustle. We came out of the weekend with a 4-2 record, with a number of new girls playing in their first outdoor tournament ever. Thanks to all the ladies that persevered through the unseasonably warm Mudbath weather with only 4 subs! We had a fantastic showing of skills by everyone, especially the new girls! Where did you get those flicks?! Despite the delayed start on Saturday due to the downpour the day before, it turned out to be a great tournament, especially with the opportunity to play out-of-town teams Denver East, Memorial and Cathedral. And thanks to all the parents who came to watch and support us, and never tired of the driving logistics, as well as our amazing host family the Boyds.
Because we never stop moving, girls will still be having practice today, with the run/warm-up at 4, and practice at 4:30. Please be prepared for practice to end early! We will be done by 6, if not before. Between just coming off a tournament and having a league game tomorrow, we don't want to totally exhaust everyone. Also, be flexible with the fields today. We are not allowed to use the HS fields 1 & 2 so we may need to move over a bit.
And, as always, please contact a coach if you will not be attending practice BEFORE it starts. It's not fair to your teammates if you don't show up for no reason. Thank you!

Varsity Practice on Saturday
Each Saturday Practice will be a little different, usually trying to incorporate a longer, more intensive practice highlighted by a scrimmage or other outside sources.
This weekend, we'll be practicing at the Twin Cities Polo Fields in Maple Plain from 1-4. There will be other games going on, as the Northwoods Sectional Tournament is being played there at the same time. If you can arrive early, or plan on staying a little late, you'll be able to see many Hurt Alums playing with their college teams in this tourney. Here's the schedule.
HERE is a map to the fields if you can't remember how to get there, and please, for the sake of your wallets and the environment, CARPOOL!!! Talk about it in the comments section.
See you at 1, and let us know if you have issues with practice.

LADIES: Girls Ultimate Prom
Please let me know in the comments section if you are willing and able to take a lead on this. Again, talk with the CDH captains at the game about working together. I'll compile a list and get it to JohnJohn. -Kell
Hello girls ultimate organizers and coaches!
So as many of you know there is increasing desire among the league here in MN and within the UPA at large to grow the amount and quality of girls ultimate here in the state. Organically, it will continue to grow at a slow rate but because we have a sizeable group of girls (4-5 on each of the top couple teams) that have taken it to the next level skill wise and a larger group of new teams and players who are just getting into the sport, several of us have decided to put together an event to get more girls out, help them learn faster, and therefore keep them coming out into adulthood.
We're going to call it "girls ultimate prom" (since clinic is a little boring) and we're trying to get each of the established teams to bring 5 players. And naturally we want AS MANY new and inexperienced girls as we can get.
We're going to do it on Saturday MAY 17th, from 2-6 which will include plenty of playing time and a BBQ. We'll do it at Nokomis Park.
Our goals include the following:
1. Spread some of the information/skill from various upper echelon teams/players to other newer teams and players. Our hope is to ask some of the better girls to help teach the skills to the newer players (with some assistance from knowledgeable adults).
2. Connect the various girls teams more together by having fun together. We'll do some skills work and have some time to do some hat-style scrimmaging but we'll also play some games to get to know each other. The plan also includes running this event from 2-6 and include a BBQ (funded by the league) at the end so there is some social element as well. It'd be great to leave feeling like the girls had some connection with other girls in the league.
3. All of the above will help the league grow (and Maintain) the new girls players in the league as well as help come summer club time.
Part of the reason for sending this out now is to get as many people committed to being there as we can. Please respond to this email with your availability. For those of you who coach teams, please let me know if you think your players can be available for this day.
The more girls that we can get there the better so please do what you can to make this happen. If all goes well we'll try and repeat this again just after the state tourney.
Thanks again for getting this off the ground. Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers, John Sandahl

Attn JV Parents: need volunteers & drivers.
Pursuant to Mike's post below, we really need adult drivers to go to get our team to Madison and back again. Parents, if you aren't busy that weekend, it would really help the team. Contact me if you are interested or have questions.
We also need parents to volunteer to drive us to our two scheduled away games:
April 10 - Twin Cities Academy (POSTPONED - TO BE RESCHEDULED)
May 8 - Hastings
I also need another parent help me coordinate these activities, to be a "team parent." I already have a volunteer who is willing to share some of the duties. Mostly this encompasses confirming rides for a given week from a list. It's not difficult, but it is a critical task.
If you can drive us to our Thursday games, or if you can help coordinate, please contact me (see comments), or post in the comments.

GIRLS - game tomorrow against EP at HOME
Ladies -
Our game tomorrow is going to be at the Lindbergh fields (instead of away at EP) at 6 pm. Please be there and ready to warm up at 5:15. Bring tape, blister band aids, extra socks, ice, whatever, for your injuries and sore muscles. I know we are all tired but we can do it!
p.s. Kelley would like us all to bring warm clothes and be ready to stay for awhile after the game to talk about this weekend. We need to go over as a whole team things we did well, things we need to work on, etc so we can practice effectively. Please try to make this work - it will not be long, but be sure you have clothes to wear!
See you there.

JV Spring info
Because our fields need some time to re-establish, we won't have official JV practice this week. Also, our first game against Twin Cities Academy has been postponed because of fields. I'm working with their coach to find an alternate time, maybe during one of our practices next week.
However, we may call an impromptu (come if you can) practice later in the week. Our First Official practice is Monday the 14th on the Lindberg fields behind Hopkins High School. Be there at 4:30, we'll go to at least 7:15.
This does leave us with a shorter time to come together, so make sure that YOU are ready to take the field. Make a small effort everyday to prepare. Do your push-ups and go running at least 3 times between now and next Monday. Read about ultimate. Go out and throw with a teammate or buddy. Take 5 minutes to visualize yourself playing.
More to come soon.

St. Cloud JV Face-off, April 26 (week after mudbath)
The JV Face-off is a one day tournament specifically for JV/B squads. It's in St. Cloud from 9 am to 6pm on Saturday, April 26. Should be great competition, costs are low and it's only an hour away! Please put in the comments whether you can go or not, and then bug your pals until they comment as well. This is separate from the Granite City Classic in May, also in St. Cloud, more to come on that soon.
JV at Mudbath! April 19 & 20
Just to make it clear, the JV and the women's teams have been accepted to Madison Mudbath. We didn't think we'd get it, so we now need to know quick if you can make it. JV team, plz post in the comments if you can make it, or if you can't, or if you've got a 50% chance of going, or if you can only make it for 1 day, etc. Also, I know it's during passover, but we've made accommodations in Madison in other years, more to come on that.
Last year was a real blast, and a big step up for a lot of players. Our hosts were great, and the tournament is well run. Tell me if you want to go.

We're in!
SJR had to drop all teams from Madison Mudbath, so we're invited to the tournament (April 19-20).
Captains: please designate one of you to find out what kind of team we can field for this weekend. I need that info by TUESDAY.
Jennifer: please find parent drivers (selling point: this is often the fave tourney!)
Doc and Leslie: do we need billeting or stay with friends again?
H: cancel Stolaf scrimmage for that Sunday; try for a scrimmage at the YWCA on 29March (still waiting for time slot and info from Ron-the-man).
I'm in town this weekend, so just call.

CUB FOODS FUNDRAISER
Hey HUrt, for those of you who will be in town this Saturday
we are doing a fundraiser at Cub Foods.
We'll take all the help we can get, guys or girls.
When: Saturday, March 15
Time: 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.
Where: The Cub Foods in Minnetonka at Highway 7 and 101.
The way it works is we go in and set up a booth at the exit and just
help people bag their groceries.
We make money by accepting tips and donations from people (we will
collect these at the booth).
We will need 4-5 people working at one time
Shifts are organized as follows:
Shift 1: 10:00-12:30
Shift 2: 12:30-3:00
Shift 3: 3:00-6:00
Just post a comment in the comment section with your name and the
shift(s) you would like to work.
Feel free to work more than one shift.
Make sure you show up about 10 min. before your shift.
It would be nice if we could have one or two parents there to stand at
the booth
so the kids can concentrate on bagging, and if anyone has a cash box
we can use
just leave a post in the comment section or bring it Saturday.
Other groups that have done this typically make about $1000.
P.S. If everyone could wear their jerseys (black preferably) that
would be great.
Feel free to call me with any questions.612-889-1339
Thanks,
Loecken

SCHEDULE UPDATE
Due to spring break, practices at the JCC on Saturdays 15 and 22 are cancelled.
Regularly scheduled practices continuing are:
Sunday (all teams) 16 march 7-9p
Tuesday (varsity) 18 March
Sunday (all teams) 23 March 7-9p
Tuesday (varsity) 25 March
SATURDAY (all teams) 29 March 1-4pm @ YWCA
Sunday (all teams) 30 March 7-9p
HERt FORCE NOTICE:
Denver tix are being bought today. Coaches Jeanine and Lou are attending with you.
Mudbath is a no-go for us this year. But we got great contacts with the Stolaf team this past weekend, so plan on going to Northfield for scrimmaging that Sunday, 20 April. Look for further posts regarding this weekend.
Also look for a further post regarding a team meeting the week you get back from spring break. This meeting will consist of Xs and Os (so bring paper and writing implement) and another round of the Rules Test, so find your books.
A note on our Duluth tournament: I hope the girls had as much fun this weekend as I did. We had individuals step up and show some skills i think even they didn't know they had! But now we all know it and will be looking to them for leadership and filling out the depth of our team. A shout-out to Jey-Day, Peazles, and Chatty Kathy for calling lines and plays, and also to ChattyKathy and Laurel for receiving the "Step-Up" and "Focus" awards, respectively. This tournament has made me even more excited to see what this team can do the rest of the season!
