GIRLS GAME MAY 26

Girls, we have a game at Eden Prairie at 5:00

We are meeting at Lindbergh at 4:15 to drive THERE together. However, because so many people have to leave early from the game, all player must find their own rides home. We will not be carpooling home.

Location: Round Lake Park - http://maps.google.com/maps?q=&daddr=44.868270,-93.496474&saddr=44.958527,-93.410203&iwd=1

There was a big announcement from the UPA today, as they have launched a new website and a new corporate identity. Gone is the UPA (Ultimate Players Association) and here now is USA Ultimate (USAU).

Check out their new website at usaultimate.org.

HERt game Tuesday

Home game vs. Southwest at Maetzold.
Please come at 5:30 ready to warm up.

Recommended: Go for a walk tonight (Monday), do yoga or throw to get rid of the lactic acid in your system.

JV - Sunday Hustle

Sorry for the late notice. I have been informed that some players require transportation to Maple Plain tomorrow morning. If you are able, please participate in the carpool.

Because of the weather delay, our first game has been pushed back until 10:40 AM Sunday. The JV needs to be at the fields by 9:30. We do not have a field assignment yet, but stop by the tent to find out. We will be playing game "z" in the 17th place bracket. Be cleated up and at our field no later than 9:45. Our final game will start at 3:40 now.

If you can participate in the carpool, please arrive at Lindbergh by 8:50 for a 9:00 departure. If there are any transportation hiccups, please call me at 612-281-5676.

Varsity Saturday

If you didn't know, the varsity team is invited to sleep at Klaney's tonight. However, if you are unable to make it, we are meeting at Lindbergh at 7:15 tomorrow morning. WE WILL LEAVE WITHOUT YOU, so be there on time.

Toasty

This weekend is supposed to be hot.

Highly recommended:
* more than one water bottle
* snacks (Clif Shot Blocks/Sharkies, Granola bars, Almonds etc. Protein = energy)
* a small cooler that you can keep a cold washcloth in
* a hat
* sunscreen
* an umbrella (for shade this time)

Hydrate like you mean it.

JV - Hustle Update

Hey JV Players and Parents -

Here's what you need to know about the Hustle this weekend:

Saturday - Our first game will be at 9:00 AM on Saturday morning. We will be playing Mahtomedi B on field 14 (southwestern corner of the polo grounds). Please arrive no later than 8:00 AM and plan on staying at the fields until approximately 5:00 or 5:30. We may or may not be playing a 3:40 crossover, but we will need everyone to stay and help pick up after the crossover games on Saturday.

Potluck - Don't forget about the potluck dinner at West Jr. High at 5:30. JV families are responsible for supplying salads for all 5 out-of-town teams and 3 Hopkins teams. Dishes are due at West Jr. High by 4:30.

Sunday - Please be back by 8:00 AM on Sunday morning for our first game at 9:00. We will play our final game at 12:20 on Sunday regardless of our tournament standing.

It's a great weekend for ultimate. Let's be great hosts to all 34 participating teams!

Sleep Over at Jeanine's Dad's House

Just a reminder that we are all sleeping over at my dad's house Friday night! Come anytime after 5pm. We will probably have dinner at about 630pm. Bring a sleeping bag and pillow, food(see below), and your tournament gear.

I need some help with the food. There are 18 of us if you all come along. I will take care of the main course (pasta) and Erin and I will be getting you Dairy Queen for dessert since we still owe you guys.

So this is what we need. Talk to each other and figure out who's in charge of what:

Seniors
Bread- a couple of baguettes
Snacks/Appetizers- chips and dip, veggies, fruit and/or other snacks

Juniors
Breakfast-Bagels and cream cheese, muffins, cereal, fruit, anything you need for tournament day
Smores stuff? If you want it, we have a fire pit

Sophomores
Drinks- juice, soda, lemonade, whatever you guys want to drink for breakfast and dinner- we will have milk

I'm getting excited!

Hopkins Hustle Potluck - Everyone has a role!

This weekend is the Hopkins Hustle. Many people have been putting together the final details.

The potluck on Saturday is a great community event. The out of town teams hosted by our club's families shower at West Junior High and then dine with our three teams in the cafeteria.

Reminder: Deliver your food donation to the West Jr High cafeteria between 4:30 and 4:45 pm. on Saturday, May 22nd. Please use disposable plates and utensils or clearly mark your dishes and plan to pick them up. If you can stay and help monitor the potluck, contact Laurie Levin at levinlaurie@hotmail.com

Players check with your parents to see if they remember their potluck assignment. It is important so that we can feed all those hungry players -
Girls team - bread and dessert
JV Boys team - Salads
Varsity Boys team - Pasta entrees

Thanks much!

Huge fundraising opportunity

We have just been offered the chance to run the hotdog/brat sales at Cub Foods Knollwood EVERY Thursday this summer, earning $400.00 a week. This means we could start out next fall with four times the amount of money raised this whole season...This is a HUGE chance for us to lower the cost of tournament travel for all three teams, and still allow us to have funds for other needs as well. We need to make a commitment for at least most of the Thursday's from June 3rd-August 26th(they will run it themselves if we can't make one or two). We will need 2-3 people there from 10:30-5:30 which can be divided into 2 or 3 shifts(possibly overlapping). Right now I just need people to let me know what kind of availability they would have so I can kind of plot out what we can do. We need PARENTS too!! Even if your son or daughter can't work with you, grab a friend and take a shift; remember, it will help defer costs when we're writing out those checks for trips next year! Please post as soon as possible and then I will let everyone know once we have a schedule worked out.
