9/20 FALL LEAGUE GAME

Hey guys,

Our game this week is at 1:45 at Lake Nokomis, be there at 1:15. We're playing South Squall, this is another high school team, so it should be a good match up. 

REMEMBER WEAR BLACK AND BRING YOUR WAIVER IF YOU HAVEN'T!

Cold Front Cooldown - Next Saturday 9/26

Hey Team -

Next Saturday we will have two mixed (boys and girls combined) teams competing in the "Cold Front Cooldown." This is a one day tournament, hosted by Eden Prairie Cold Front Ultimate, on Saturday 9/26. As this is a local and one-day tourney, there is no additional per player cost for this tournament. The club has covered the tournament fee.

This tournament is being held at the Twin City Polo Club in Independence, MN, just west of Maple Plain. All players are invited to attend. Players must have their Hurt registrations materials submitted to participate.

As this is the same weekend as the UPA Northwest Plains Sectional qualifier (a tournament for adult Ultimate players), most if not all of the coaches will be playing at this tournament. Fortunately, this tournament also is located at the Twin City Polo Club on Saturday and Sunday. This means that coaches Mikey K, Erin, Lou, and Tom will all be out at the fields, but for the mot part unable to coach. Captains will lead the teams, but we will need parent chaperons to supervise throughout the day. Parents, if you can attend for all or part of the day on Saturday, please post a comment on the blog also.

The following is a map of Hopkins Ultimate sites. Included on there is the location of the polo fields.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=112976841523924219467.00045e03e59e361d1fd7a&t=h&z=11


There will most likely be fruit, bagels, and water provided by the tournament, but players are encouraged to bring refillable water bottles and snacks for themselves. Players will be responsible for all of their own food in addition to what is provided by the tourney, so please be prepared.

Expect the first game to start around 9 am, and play to go until 4:30 or 5. Players will meet at Lindbergh to carpool if necessary, most likely meeting 1 hr, 45 min to 90 minutes before the first game. Carpooling details will be posted by captains by midweek.

Players, please respond in the comment section if you are able to attend.

Hopkins Ultimate Parent Shirts

Parents have until Sept. 30 to order this special edition Hopkins Ultimate t-shirt. If you would like one, add your name and size in the comments. You can pay $15 via Paypal at the right or send a check payable to Hopkins Ultimate to 2317 Archers Lane, Minnetonka, MN 55305

Registration Meeting Reminder, and Congrats!

A reminder to all players, new and returning... the Hurt Registration meeting is Monday 9/14. Details are on the right.

We will be throwing around and scrimmaging and everyone who plans on playing Jv, Girls or Boys varsity should show up but it is fine if you can't make it.

Sincerely,
Your Captains: Emma Peaslee, Jenna Dailey, Haley Arenson, Josh Klane, Eli Leonard

Hurt Recruitment Video and Open House - Help Spread the Word!

Come Be In The HUrt Recruitment Video!
When: Monday August 10th from 4-6pm (players can come and go anytime during that 2 hours)Where: Burnes Park
What: To film a video that will be shown at junior high open houses to encourage new players to join our team. You would be either playing pickup (as a background) or being interviewed about HUrt and Ultimate in general.

If you can come please reply in the comments section and wear HUrt jerseys to the event. Snacks will be provided.

Also, I would love to have 5 other kid volunteers, beside myself, and 1 other adult to stand at tables for the junior high open houses on August 26th. If anyone is interested leave a comment to that effect in the comments section.

There would be two groups of 3, one at West and one at North with a parent at each. The timing for West is 5:30-8:30, and North is from 4-7. These are three solid hours of volunteering that you can mark down for NHS or any other thing you do like that! Thank you so much for the help!

YCC Volunteers Necessary!

Here's a message from Jeff Hagen of the MNHSUL about YCC. Parents, if you are going to be watching your son/daughter at YCC (or even if you're not), please consider volunteering. Kids, if you're not playing YCC, you can help out too!

Mike

================
Dear local Ultimate enthusiast-
Will you donate a few hours of your time for youth Ultimate?
The 2009 UPA Youth Club Championships are being held at the National Sports Center in Blaine on August 8th and 9th, and we need volunteers.
Volunteers are the backbone of successful UPA championship events, and you can be a part of the future of Ultimate at the Youth Club Championships. Whether you want to dive in and immerse yourself in the event for days, or just help out a little in between watching some great action, we can find something perfect for you. From scorekeeping to setting up fields, from helping keep the players hydrated to helping keep the site clean, there are lots of opportunities to contribute.
Please go to http://www.mnhsultimate.org/volunteer.aspx to indicate your willingness to help. Volunteer Coordinator Jeff Hagen is available to answer your questions. 651-341-9448 or wblultimate@yahoo.com.

Potential Car Wash

We have a slot at Cub Foods on 101 from 10-4 on August 8th for a car wash fundraiser.

However, a lot of our players have the Youth Club Championship (YCC) tournament that weekend and won't be able to make it. We want to know if there are enough players not playing in that tournament that would be able to help out that day. 

Comment under this if you are available to help

Kudos to Peter Ilten, Hustle Tournament Director

Another day remains, but if you are out at the polo grounds today, please thank our volunteer tournament director, Peter Ilten for his excellent work in planning and running the Hustle. Peter, an Ultimate player at Luther College is preparing for graduate school, and Mike Kinsella wooed him into taking on the Hustle.

Also spread the love to Rachel Abrams, a senior, who assisted with planning from day 1 and handled arrangements for our traveling teams, and Laurie Levin (Mama Brick), another planner and on-site score keeper.

Many more thanks still to come for the players, parents and coaches who helped in hundreds of ways!

JV Practice Tuesday at Lindbergh

Tuesday May 5th we have practice at Lindbergh # 10 (Next to the climbing wall) instead of our normal location.   

Also our Thursday game against Cooper is being re-scheduled to the following week.  So there will not be a game this Thursday.  

Note from Madison host family

We received the following from the JV Host family and Susan asked that I share it with all the players who stayed at her home. (I love receiving notes like this. Way to go, Hurt!)

Thank you for the gifts we really appreciate them. It was a pleasure to have your kids. I am just sorry the weather did not cooperate. Colin will be wearing the Hopkins cap at Granite City Tournament this weekend as it looks like it could be sunny! We found one blue and white under armor shirt. Gavin our senior will have it at the Hopkins Ultimate tournament next weekend.

Hope to see your guys next year,

Mudbath Aftermath

It was very disappointing to have the Madison Mudbath canceled beneath us this weekend. We were all quite ready for a big weekend of Ultimate play. I appreciate everyone's flexibility in adjusting and regrouping.

I had a question about refunds and I thought others may have the same question. The $35 paid by each player covered our team registration fees, coaches' travel and host gifts, and I'm afraid we spent all that despite the rain. The Mudbath web site has the following disclaimer::

As with all outdoor sporting events, the MadisonMudBath can be canceled or altered due to weather. The tournament is held on the athletic fields used by all Memorial high school teams during the spring and cannot be permanently damaged. If this occurs we will be unable to provide refunds.

Unfortunately, that means we have no refunds.

Hey guys,

Way to work this weekend and bring Hopkins its first Paideia cup ever. It truly is a moment to remember.

Hopefully I didn't infect anyone. Let me know if you have any questions.

Congrats once again, this is only the beginning,
