Boys Varsity Game at Armstrong - Details
Fellas -
We're playing our game at Armstrong tonight, which is just west of 169 on 36th Ave N.
The address of the school is: 10635 36th Ave N, Plymouth, MN.
The field we will most likely be playing on is the one last year, down by Medicine Lake. We are going to meet in the back parking lot (the teacher's lot) of the high school, then if we have to move, we'll move from there.
Parents, if you are coming to the game and don't see us at the field, please give me a call at 630-803-7350 and I can direct you to our new field. Updates will be posted here as necessary.
Thanks,
Mike

Rule Myths
Hurtems,
Over the past week or so I've seen our players encounter some calls that could have been handled better, both at Mudbath and at league games.
To avoid these situations at Nationals and State, I'm going to assign some reading material for everyone.
UPA Rules blog - Calls & Contests you are welcome to read the whole thing, but the part that's the assignment starts at Rule Myth: "It's the receiver's call"
You can stop reading immediately following the discussion of "check feet" as an imaginary call.
Please keep in mind that knowing the rules is part of your job as a Hurtem.
It's a gorgeous day for ultimate, have fun.

Varsity Schedule and Update for 4/28-29
First off, congrats to the girls' team for a great win vs Cretin last night!
Like the JV team has done, due to field availability concerns, the Varsity team is moving our game on Thursday 4/29 from a home game at Lindbergh to an away game at Robbinsdale Armstrong HS. Meet at Lindbergh at 4:30 to carpool.
Thank you to Armstrong and Coach Mike Berseth for being able to accomodate our field space request in ways that has been difficult from our own school. Right now, they are figuring out which of two (two!!!) guaranteed (guaranteed!!!) field spaces we'll be using; once that is decided I will update this information on the blog.
Tonight, Wednesday, we'll be practicing at Lindbergh at 6 PM. Meet near the climbing structure and we'll be there if the space allotted for us is open. If not we may be scrambling. Such is life as noble warriors. Remember, there is still time before nationals! Be there! Get your brothers to practice!!!

Boys Varsity at South
Where: Powderhorn Park (14th Ave S and 32nd St)
When: Thursday. carpool meeting time at 4:15, game at 6.
Traffic will be bad, especially on 394 E. Hopefully we can start warming up at 5. I'm sure you have a normal meeting spot etc., ask your captains if you're not sure where to be.
FYI, both Mikey and Lou are out of town tomorrow - so you're stuck with me.

JV Game vs. Eden Prairie B
Please be at Lindbergh with cleats on by 5:15 in order to warm up for our league game tomorrow vs. Eden Prairie B. We will be playing on either field 9 or field 10. Other sports have the fields reserved until 6pm, so DO NOT INTERFERE with any games / practices going on. In fact, if a game runs long, there is a chance we may not be able to use the fields right at 6pm.
If there is not a suitable place for warm-up, we will have to wait until space opens up. It is unfortunate that we are in this situation, but ANY disruption to other teams will have serious consequences for our club's ability to practice and play at Lindbergh.
See you tomorrow. GAME TIME!

Madison Mudbath- Bring your tennis shoes!
So it looks like it supposed to rain all weekend in Madison. Please bring tennis shoe in case we are not able to use the fields at some point. They will have back up indoor opportunities available.
Also remember that if we are outside that you will need warm and appropriate clothing. 55 degrees and raining can be quite chili. This means bring winter hats, mittens, hand warmers, raincoats, tights, plenty of socks, umbrellas and any layers you have that dry quickly and can keep you warm while wet. NO COTTON!

MADISON MUDBATH - APRIL 23-25
ATTENTION PARENTS
Madison Mudbath is coming up quickly. Just want to put in a plug to get a few more parents to enjoy all the tournament offers. You'll have a wonderful time watching the elite teams of the tournament - Hopkins' teams. Being a chaperone at this tournament is about the easiest chaperone job you can get.

You'll have a wonderful time watching the elite teams of the tournament - Hopkins' teams. Being a chaperone at this tournament is about the easiest chaperone job you can get.
- Ride the coach with us. We still have plenty of room. (The coach is even equipped with WIFI and DVD. It's a really tough life.)
- Help collect the athletes each morning from their host homes (on the bus, real tough duty).
- Cheer on and support our teams (we have 3 teams playing in the tournament).
- Help fill water bottles.
- Just be there to help in any way our coaches and athletes need.
- Help make sure the athletes all get back to their host homes or actitivities in the evening.
- Relax in the luxurious accommodations of the Radisson West Madison Hotel each evening (including the Sleep Number bed in your room) while the athletes enjoy the supervision of their host parents and coaches. Each morning, enjoy a full hot breakfast buffet at the Radisson, included with your room.
- Spend most of your time just watching WITH PRIDE the classiest athletes of the tournament - our kids. (Now, this really is a tough job, but someone has to do it!!!!)
Parent Bus Rides:
For parents wishing to go, you are welcome to either drive yourself, or ride the bus with us. Roundtrip bus is only $75 per person.
Hotel Reservations:
We have reserved a block of rooms at the Radisson Hotel Madison at only $79 per night (90.46 per night, including 14.5% taxes). A hot buffet breakfast is also included with your room. Rooms can be reserved in your name beginning tomorrow morning (Monday, April 19). Just let them know you're with HOPKINS ULTIMATE. Any problems, let me know or ask for Fred in Sales at the hotel. If you're interested in more information about the hotel, please visit the following link:

Radisson Hotel Madison
517 Grand Canyon Drive, Madison Wisconsin 53719,
(608) 833-0100
Driving Directions:
Driving directions to Madison and the playing fields (and Radisson) can be found by clicking the following link: http://www.mapquest.com/mq/8-QjvMxU38STboY189
For your own GPS, the address for the tournament is:
James Madison Memorial High School
201 S. Gammon Rd.
Madison, WI 53717
Also, I will probably need a bit of help when loading the bus. Please don't just place luggage under the bus as it will need to be separated by team so it will be easier when we drop athletes off at their host homes. If you have any questions, please call me at 612-508-6965 or at jdailey@healthmarketer.com. Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you at the tournament.
