YCC volunteers needed!

The Youth Club Championship tournament, a national tournament for high school ultimate players, is coming to Minnesota in three weeks, and we still need more volunteers to make this a successful event. It is being held on August 10th - 11th  2013 at the National Sports Center in Blaine. If you have some free time and any interest in supporting high school ultimate at this level (and helping to keep this event coming to our community), please go to http://mnyu.org/volunteer.aspxto sign up for the times you can help.

Primarily we need scorekeepers, but there are other opportunities listed on the registration page.

There are many Hopkins players on YCC teams this year, so come check out your fellow Hurtems take on the best youth talent in the world (seriously!)!

Oh, and I'll be there too coaching the YCC Mixed team.

Hope your summer is going well - remember that the summer is when you get better and watching high level ultimate is one of the best ways to do so.
Thanks,
Erin

JV State Update

Looks like the games start at 8:30 am rather than 9 a.m. so get to Lindbergh at 6:45 a.m. and carpools will leave at 7 am sharp!!

Also - we need players to indicate their ride status when they register on the sign-up page so we can coordinate the true number of rides - need a ride; have a ride with xxxx; driving on my own. 

Volunteer/Job opportunity this weekend

 We received this email regarding a job opportunity at the tournament this weekend; contact information is below if anyone is interested. Our varsity team is playing their first game of the day on this field, so kind of exciting to know there will be a video of the whole thing! 

Hello all,

This weekend is the State High School Tournament up in Blaine, MN at the National Sports Center.  We have a feature field, U2, which is a grass bowl.  We have feature matches scheduled all weekend on the field, including both finals on Sunday.  The full schedules for games this weekend are here: Open and Girl's.

We would like to video tape the games featured on U2.  We are looking for a camera operator for each game.  There are no formal experience requirements.  We are willing to pay $20/game.  There are 9 games on the weekend, so you could earn up to $180.  Each game has hard caps, so you would have 15+ minutes of downtime between rounds.  We will provide all video equipment.

Saturday: 8:30, 10:30, 12:30, 2:30, 4:30

Sunday: 9:00, 11:00, 1:30, 3:30

If you are interested and available for any of the rounds, please contact Chris Miller today.  chrismikemiller@gmail.com.

Regards,

Dave

Sign ups

We have links on the side bar now for the upcoming BANQUET, for the JV STATE TOURNAMENT TEAMS, and for the CUB WEENIE WAGON. We still need help tomorrow, Thursday, May 23rd, for the first shift at Cub if anyone is available! We are only working the Cub wagon for another month, so please help out if you're available!

Please sign up for the banquet and state tournament as soon as you know you're able to attend so we are able to have accurate numbers for planning purposes.

Centrals-Varsity and Girls

The bus will be departing for Centrals at 9:00 am, Friday morning, from the back of the Adath parking lot. Please be at Adath at 8:40am to check in, and to ensure that we take off on time. We will be making a stop for lunch and dinner, so we anticipate the trip to take 11 1/2 to 12 hours.

We've been told that the final game and ceremony should be complete by 4:30 on Sunday. We'll plan on leaving as quickly as we can following these events, and make a fast dinner stop on our way out of town. If everything goes as planned, I'm guessing we'll get back into Mpls around 3:30 or 4:00 am.

Breakfast will be served at the hotel each morning. We will have our snack bags with us at the fields, although if you have special snacks you prefer, make sure you bring them with. There will be an event Saturday evening that all teams will attend, and dinner will be served, although I've found in past years that players often are hungry again later in the evening, and will order pizza or Chinese at the hotel. Players are responsible for their own meals whenever we stop while on the bus. Players may also want to bring money for gear at the tournament. There will be an opportunity to swap jerseys with other teams during Saturday evening's event, so be sure to bring some things if you're interested.

If you haven't already filled out an updated USAU medical form, please do so IMMEDIATELY, and email it to me at semekler@gmail.com, or bring it with you tomorrow. YOU CAN'T PLAY WITHOUT THIS!

Medical form

JV game tomorrow

Tomorrows game will be at Edina. As usual game is at 6:00 so at the fields by 5:00, warm up drills start at 5:15 sharp. 

YEAR END BANQUET AND FAMILY REUNION!!!

We are very excited to announce that this year's banquet will also include a couple of short games, with current HUrt players taking the field with our alumni!!! This should be something you don't want to miss! I've been around Hopkins Ultimate long enough to hear a lot of stories that have become part of the "legend of HUrt", and I have a feeling this will be one of them...
