Varsity travel

Varsity players, we are trying to put together out spring travel plans and need to get an idea of who can make a commitment to our out of town tournaments. Obviously, Paideia and Westerns are the most expensive trips and also the ones we need to plan the farthest in advance. We need to make non refundable deposits on airplane tickets, so we will not decide to travel unless we have firm commitments and DEPOSITS from anyone who plans to attend. The final cost has not been determined but airfare is very high to Portland and not that cheap to Atlanta either. Even with a substantial amount of our fundraising money being used to defray costs, expect the final amounts to be in the range of~$375.00-425.00 for Paideia and $500.00-$600.00 for Westerns. There has been some talk about a few other fundraising ideas specific to Varsity that could help lower the cost as well, but you guys would have to start working on that.

Please post as soon as possible if you are planning on traveling to either or both of these tournaments.

We need to make a decision about attending Paideia by next week in order to make our travel plans. I will need a $100.00 deposit by February 10th from each player who plans to attend if we have enough players available to make it possible for us to go.

A quick note about current Hurt activities

Just a reminder:

1) if you cannot attend a practice, please email a coach or contact your captain

2) recruiting is still your active duty, bring a friend to a Sunday practice

3) working out is very helpful for preventing injury - stay active

Finally, it is every Hurtems responsibility to check the blog and to make sure a parent is aware of the blog and our practice schedule.

As we near February, practice schedules will be more consistent (sorry, we've had some adventures) and we'll have everything posted sooner.

Sweatshirts- Again

Hey,

I hate to keep posting but I still need money from the following people to order sweatshirts. I need the money upfront before buying them. If your name is on the list below please get 29 dollars to me as soon as possible. We were planning on ordering these sweatshirts before winter break and now it is after... So, if you told me you wanted a sweatshirt and have not paid (aka you are on the list below) get that money to me. Thank you.

Duluth details

Sorry for the delay guys. Finishing these details has not been a priority this week because I'm busy being a new grandma; that's right, Zach and Wyatt are uncles, so ask them about their nephew!

The final cost per player is $60.00. It was actually $80.00 last year, so this is quite a bit less. Please bring a check made out to Hopkins Ultimate Frisbee Club and give it to Todd.
You will be staying at the Comfort Suites on Canal Park in Duluth.
Please be at Lindbergh tomorrow morning BY 9:00am. Todd Leonard and Marni Bumsted will be driving all the players from there. You will be stopping at Tobies for breakfast/brunch on the way to Duluth, and the first game will be at 1:30.
You will need to bring enough money to buy dinner on Sunday night as well, and snacks if you want them as well as a fast food stop on the way home monday night.

Marni's cell phone number is #612-749-0485
Todd's cell phone number is#612-363-2200

What to bring to an indoor tournament

A few reminders about what to pack for an indoor tournament:

light (not gray) jersey
dark jersey
your own water bottle
disc
snacks (e.g. beef jerky, clif shot blocks, gu, granola bars etc.)
thick socks (indoor surfaces are less forgiving than grass)
2 pairs of shoes: 1 to walk through the snow in, 1 to play in
warm ups
swim suit

Please talk to your captains if you have questions about Carpools etc.
Thanks,
Erin

Indoor season starts January 9th

Hurtems,

Practices are starting this weekend. More details to come.

Sunday nights are all team practices at the West Structure at 8:30 PM. This was the only time available on Sundays, and we know it's late but it's all we've got. We have the space until 10 PM. If you need to leave early, please let a coach know at the beginning of practice.

Tuesdays will be split between teams. 6 - 8 PM at Alice Smith Elementary School, starting Tuesday January 11th.

We're figuring out one other time/day of the week, which we'll add to this post when we know.

Thanks for your patience.
