Good Morning!
HBTS:
Passport color photo copies for those signed up to attend HBTS are due today! I've received less than 10 copies as of this morning. You may scan and email a copy to me at d.pavelka@me.com or a color copy can be mailed. The tournament is 3 weeks away, however, There are deadlines to meet of registration materials and manifests to submit to the border that need finalization by Monday of next week. This includes coaches and parents traveling with our group on or off the bus. Parents: Thank You to those who have signed up to chaperone! Please sign up on the Signupgenius even if you are NOT riding the bus. Whether driving or flying I need accurate numbers of people with our group.
We need 2 additional girl players in order to send 2 teams to Hold Back the Snow! As explained in a previous blog post this is a Co-Ed tournament. Each team needs a ratio of 4 boys / 3 girls on the field at all times.
I promised more info regarding per player cost. I cannot calculate this until we have finalized two teams. Please note that taking a coach bus to Winnipeg is conditional on sending 34 players.
EXIT 69:
To all the players participating at EXIT 69 this weekend, and there are 46 & 49 players signed up on Saturday and Sunday, good luck and have fun! The forecast is for warmer than normal temps in the 80's with plenty of sunshine! Remember SUNSCREEN! Reuseable water bottles, food to fuel you throughout the day, socks and more layers of clothing than you think you'll need! The forecast might say 83 at noon but arriving at the fields by 8:00 am at 65 degrees feels quite different! Refer to the Signupgenius for driving rules. All players should note if they need a ride or not. Carpools leave from Lindbergh parking lot at 7:25, so be at Lindbergh at 7:15 please.
Lastly....every player must participate in our Blitz fundraisers. Whether you're playing ultimate in the fall, winter, spring or a combination of these seasons. Fundraising dollars go to tournament fees, practice and playing fields, indoor facilities, scholarships, MNYU league dues, and much, much more!! Without adequate fundraising dollars for the year these costs will end up being passed onto to players. There were 30 players at last weeks Blitz. Our next Blitz is October 5. There are 29 players signed up, 14 of those participated last week. PLEASE signup on the signup genius. This includes parents as well. The more parent drivers with 3 or less kids in their car the more ground we cover!
Have a great weekend!

All players should bring the following to every practice: cleats, a dark shirt, a WHITE (not gray) shirt, your OWN water, and a disc (if you have one). Dress for the weather. We play through all weather (if fields are playable) except thunder and lightning. Every HUrtem is responsible for being Toasty Warm, and for transporting their water/gear TO AND FROM the fields. We leave the field better than we found it

2014/2015 Potential Tournaments
The following Tournaments and approx dates are for PLANNING purposes only! I receive many requests for tournament dates, practice days etc... for the entire year. This is quite difficult to do however, I'm trying to inform parents/players as early as possible. I do not have exact dates/times for several events Unless our participation is marked CONFIRMED our involvement is contingent on our 'Bid' being accepted. This means players signed up accurately, parents signed up accurately and their availability to provides transportation and/or chaperone at these events.
NOTE: Many changes are happening with our 'traditional' tournament format. Events we always plan to participate at during the year have changed their dates, bid process or in one case, the tournament itself may not happen this spring. We are exploring alternate options as noted below. The list below is NOT COMPLETE. It is what I have at this time. Thanks, Debbi.

What is Hopkins Ultimate?
Mission: The goal of HUrt and HERt Force is to promote the sport of Ultimate within the Twin Cities through participation in, encouragement of, and recruitment for every level of Ultimate, including high school, club and college play. And, to strive for the highest level of competitive excellence in Ultimate.
What's Ultimate? Two teams of seven players compete on a field 70 yards long, 30 yards wide. Everyone is free to move, except the person with the disc. Upon catching the disc, you stop, and pass it within 10 seconds or it's a turnover. If someone drop the disc or it's intercepted, that's a turnover. Play rarely stops except for a score. A point is scored when a player catches the disc in an end-zone 25 yards deep. Typically, the first team to reach 15 points (with a two-point margin) wins, but there are some variations to cap the length of time played. The game is self-officiated.
