Varsity Practice - Tues 12/1 - Williston

Hello Kiddos -

I hope you all ate too much turkey and other things over the weekend, and got to spend some quality time with those close to you!

Hurt is back to work, tomorrow night (Tuesday 12/1), the Varsity Boys' team has practice from 5:15-7 PM at the Williston Center. You can find out where the Williston Center is by checking the Hopkins Ultimate map.

We get the courts at 5:30, but please be there at 5:15 so you have some time to get your shoes on, warm up on the sidelines (NOT ON THE COURT), etc.

For those who have never been, the Williston space is a hardwood gym floor. Please wear appropriate footwear, but don't wear the same shoes on the court that you wore outside if you can help it. Continue to bring everything else needed for a practice, including a WHITE shirt, a DARK shirt, a DISC, and YOUR OWN WATER.

IN THIS FLU SEASON, SHARING/STEALING FROM YOUR TEAMMATES' WATER BOTTLE(s) IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE. Don't get your brothers sick, bring your own water!

Please call me if you are unable to make it or if you have any questions.

Workout with Colin "Tater" Camp

Hurt’ems:

For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Colin Camp. I was on the team the last three years and I am now a freshman at Madison.

I’ll be home this weekend for break and since I plan on working out, I’d like to extend an invitation to any of you (jv, girls, varsity) to come join me for a college-level type workout. It will be good opportunity to learn some of the hard work that it takes to become a great ultimate player and a national level team.

If you’re interested I’ll be at Lindbergh Center on Wednesday at 3 pm and would love to meet some new faces and see some I already know.

If you plan on attending or are even considering it, write in the comments so I have an idea of the number of people who will be there.

Happy Holidays,

Colin Camp

p.s. Hope to see some alumni there as well!

Down Time

Hey Hurtems -

As you may have noticed, things have slowed down (officially) over the past week as we transition from outdoor space to our indoor season and approach the holidays. Official practice time and space is coming shortly, but now is a great time to work on your own and improve yourself individually.

Get in the gym, continue (or start) working out on your quickness and strength. Or don't get in the gym - get outside to your backyard or a park and throw by yourself or with a friend!

If you are confused or uncertain about what you can do to make yourself better, talk to your captains and coaches.

This is the time to get better, it will pay off in the spring!!

Captains Practice

Date: Thursday November 5th
Where: Lions Park
When: 3:30- 5 (or dark)
Who: Varsity Boys
