WINTER WORKOUTS - GIRLS

EDITED**


We're starting winter workouts. For those of you at practice (sunday) I mentioned this.

They will be Monday and Thursday. (these days will remain the same sorry if it doesn't work for you)

However, timing wise we will be meeting to workout at 4:00 in the Lindbergh Center.
Arrive early enough to run a mile BEFORE 4:00. If that means coming at 3:30 then come then.

Todays workout went until 5:15ish. But there isn't a definite time for when they end. Probably around 5-5:30.

Girls Practice Nov. 25

Just so there's no confusion, the girls will still be having practice. Sara Gottlieb's dad, Ellis, has volunteered to supervise because Jeanine is unable to make it.

TRIVIA

Trivia
The Blog gets boring during the winter, so just like the great Carl Peaslee I am going to start posting trivia. Correct answers will be given one point, and at the end of the winter season I will add up all the points and award a prize to the winner.

So here is the first TRIVIA QUESTION:
PART I: Which university has won the most UPA College Nationals Championships since 1984?
PART II: Which High School has won the most UPA High Invites?
PART III: Which Club team has won the most UPA Club Championships (OPEN DIVISION)?


To get the point all three parts must be answered correctly. Start searching and one day you might have the ultimate knowledge that will win you the grand prize!!!!

Trivia will be moved to http://hopkinsultimatetrivia.blogspot.com     .... SCAR is currently in the lead with one point... keep checking for more questions!!!

St. Olaf - GIRLS Rescheduled, BOYS STILL ON

Girls -

We are going to find another date to go to St. Olaf because since it was switched to indoors we would have had to share the time with the boys and only get an hour. Also they weren't going to have as many girls as they thought. So we'll talk some more and try to find another time.

(MIKEY K ADDENDUM - FELLAS WE'RE STILL ON. TOASTY WARM!)

Olaf Update - Bring Indoor and Outdoor Shoes

Hey All -

Please bring gym shoes as well as cleats to Olaf tomorrow. There is a chance that we will be playing inside.

Thanks,
Mikey K

Olaf Update

Please make sure you thoroughly read the post. Because we are the ones driving down to St. Olaf we need to make sure we have ample room for the players that are trying out for varsity. Younger guns, if you would like, feel free to call me the night before. By then we will have figured out the car situation, and we will see if we have room for you guys to come. But as of now this is a boys varsity tryout event

9-12 Graders trying out for varsity continue to post your name under the comments section of the previous "Olaf Update"

Sorry for the confusion,

Shaps

Invitation from St. Olaf

HUrt -

Distinguished HUrt alum Andrew "Rzr" Kelley is now a sophomore at St. Olaf College in beautiful Northfield, MN. He plays for their men's ultimate team there and has invited us to come down and spend a Saturday scrimmaging the Zerks. The women's team, Durga, has extended the same offer to HERt for this day. The date for this is proposed as Saturday, November 8th. Here's some information from Rzr:

So here is a tentative plan for the November 8 scrimmage. We haven't made solid practice plans for that day yet, but we were thinking of having practice from 10 - 12 in the morning. We will let you know if it will be indoor or outdoor, as the snow today may have thrown a wrench into our plans. After practice we would love to invite both teams to eat with us at our cafeteria, which is the fourth best college eatery in the nation. Afterwords is pretty up in the air. Some students will have homework, but I know I can convince players to give tours, show around campus, go into Northfield, or we can just hang out because I know I want to catch up with you guys.
So practice from 10am-12pm, then we can go eat lunch until about 1 pm. Whatever you guys want to do at that point is fine, so let me know what you would enjoy. Oh yes, and the girls team (Durga) would love to have HERt down as well to play, and would probably follow the same schedule. And if this doesn't work for you, let me know because our plans are very flexible.

RZR

This would be a fun day for all players to get down to Northfield, see St. Olaf, and expand your ultimate horizons by learning a bit from some college ultimate players. Times that Rzr has proposed are tentative right now, and more information will be posted to the blog as we cement the details. For now though, please post your name in the comments section if you are interested in attending. Also, please include in your post if you are able to drive. We will probably meet at and leave from Lindbergh as per usual for this trip, and will return on Saturday afternoon/early evening. Coaches will be present as well (Louie and Mikey K are available). Varsity and JV are invited to this event.

A Message from Our Elders

Hey Hurt/HERt-

I hope everyone's school year has started off well. Congrats on
another Hold Back the Snow championship! I am confident that I am
going to be able to make it up to Westerns in Blaine this spring,
which is very exciting.

I am emailing all of you in regards to voting for the UPA Board of
Directors. In case you weren't aware, I am a nominee for the Central
Region position this year. You can read my statement and listen to my
audio interview on the UPA Website (http://www.upa.org/bod/candidate/2009
). If you like my ideas, and would like to see some Hopkins
representation on the UPA Board of Directors, I would love to have
your vote. Every vote counts!

You can vote by logging into your UPA account at:

https://www.upa.org/members/login.php

Once you have logged in, click on the word "vote" in the large box
referring to the election. Select "Central Region", and then choose
the candidate(s) you want to support!

Hope to be in touch with all of you soon!

HBTS Results

HURT Black wins HBTS!

YouthUltimate.com has the coverage.

Congrats to all on a successful tournament!

Mikey K

Black went 4-0; Silver was 3-1

Both teams played well and showed great spirit. The new players are learning and improving fast. No need for ice or attention to injuries today!

Arrived safe and sound

The trip went smoothly. It took about 50 minutes to pass through the border. We watched action-packed movies throughout the trip -- Ironman, Indiana Jones and selected Ultimate tournament highlights.

After our 7 a.m. breakfast, both teams will bus to the fields for four games today. The weather should be in the 50s.
