PARENT DRIVERS

PARENTS!  We need your help PLEASE!

Our first Sunday Blitz is this weekend Nov.17th,  12pm-7pm.
The kids have committed their time and we now have 46 players signed up for Sunday !  Thank you:-).  We could really use 5+ additional parent drivers.  The areas the kids will be covering are quite large.  We are sooooo close to having all the pieces in place!  Once all the pieces are in place (40+ kids/parent drivers/2 kids per car) we have a recipe for a FUN, successful and lucrative day! 

HUrt players..... Ask your parents to help drive.  Show them the blog and Signupgenius, watch the video with your parent.  Help the adults sign up if they've never done so before.  Remember; Parent drivers can win prizes/cash too!
If this Sunday doesn't work for you.....there's always next Sunday.
Parent participation is crucial (mandatory) for the club to run efficiently and smoothly.  
Thank you,

Debbi

P.S.  A big shout out to players and parents already signed up! If you've signed up for both blitz days....double shout out!

Since the fall season is wrapping up in the next week or so, we wanted to remind you of your winter responsibilities:

2) heal - Rest, Ice, Compress & Elevate anything that's been bothering you.
3) get stronger - Improve. Prevent injury.
4) throw & catch - with purpose; with power.
5) recruit - the coaches challenge you to get ONE person who's never played ultimate to throw with you every TWO weeks*.
6) review the rules

*the HUrtem with the most recruits who stay and play spring ultimate will receive a prize.

have fun!
your coaches

MORE FUNDRAISING!!!

I just found out today that we have an opportunity to work the food stand at Cub next weekend; October 30 and 31. This is their last weekend of the year, and should be busy with Halloween activities going on at the store. I need to let them know in the next day or 2 if we can do this~THIS NEEDS TO BE A PLAYER PARTICIPATION EVENT! We've had parents working every Thursday since school started, and this is a chance for team members to come out and volunteer. We can make shifts as short as 2 hours if we have enough people, so talk to your friends and let's make this happen! The hours are from 10:30-5:30 or 6 both Saturday and Sunday. Post your availability please.

Thanks to Benji and Wyatt for working today!

Cub fundraiser

Players, if you're in town and free tomorrow it's your last chance of the season to have some fun selling hot dogs and hamburgers at Cub! We have some parents working, but it would be great to have a few players as well, so let me know if you are interested in helping out for a few hours. We're there from 10:30-5:30, and if you want to come for even a couple hours, that would be great!

First I'd like to thank all of the parents who signed up for a shift at Cub during our registration meeting. For those of you who didn't get an opportunity, you're in luck, it's not too late!

Wow! Great turnout for Cub!

What an awesome turnout on short notice for our Cub fundraiser. We had at least 25 baggers on hand today representing all three teams. Results: $543

Thank you to all the players and parents who squeezed this into their family calendar this weekend. (Thanks to you too, Mikey, for taking a shift.) The Cub manager was amazed that we could assemble such a good group with less than 24 hours notice. We will be on his list if another cancellation occurs.

Thanks to Judy Saltzman for lining up this gig. And hats off to Emma and Haley who worked hard Friday to organize the shifts and recruit players to fill the day.

People needed to help sell tickets @ lunch for Hurt Jam

Hurt Jam is right around the corner and we need to start selling tickets. For people that buy them at school during lunch the cost is $5, and it is $6 at the door. From Wednesday to Friday we are going to be selling them at lunch, and help is greatly needed for selling tickets. Around 3 people are needed to sell tickets during each lunch, and so we could get 3 people per lunch every day that would be amazing!
I know 1st and 3rd have a good amount of ultimate players in each, but I do not know of many in 2nd or 4th. If you want you can post in the comment section if you can help sell tickets... or just show up.

Thanks

P.S. We need a cash box. If anyone has one that can be borrowed for the week, please post that in the contact section... again Thanks!!

Hat Tournament Flier

Here is our Hat Tournament and Clinic Flier, which includes a waiver for all participants to sign. The flier should come in handy for promoting the event, as I know all of you are doing diligently.

Indoor Tournament Saturday

We have a tournament at the Midtown Y [MAP] in Minneapolis on Saturday. We have games at the following times:

9:00 AM
11:00 AM
1:00 PM
4:00 PM

Have your shoes on ready for a warm up jog at 8:30 AM. Depending on how we do, we'll have more games after that. If we do well, the latest game will finish at 11:00 PM.

Because the tournament is coed and at most 3 boys will be on the field at any time, we're limiting the boys roster to the following boys:

Seniors:
Brian "Deuce" Wilson
Capt. Carl "Crazy Hot" Peaslee
Andrew "RZR" Kelley
Jovan "Tauntaun" Thompson (r)
David "Can-Swillas" Canillas (r)
Zach "Talter" Alter
Stephen "Rubeans" Rubinyi

Juniors:
Capt. Greg "Garenson" Arenson
Sam "Brick" Brickwedde

Sophomores:
Robbie "Shaps" Shapiro
Asa Gottlieb (r)
John "Smalter" Alter (r)

You might wonder why those 3 sophomore names appear at the end. Bottom line, they exhibited characteristics of a good teammate on Wednesday night.

Those on the list should email coach Lou [hotlou@gmail.com] to confirm their invitation. Those not on the list are encouraged to come support their teammates.

What to bring: water bottle, shoes, shorts, jerseys (black, gold, white), discs (to throw and to sell), snacks, money (for lunch), and a strong desire to let Lou make you better at ultimate.

Hydrating right now matters. Drink some water after reading this post. Then read it again and have another glass of water.

See you Saturday.
