Varsity travel details for Duluth

The carpool for Duluth will be leaving from the Lindbergh parking lot at 8:30 Sunday morning. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early so everyone can depart on time. It's going to be very cold in Duluth, so even though this tournament is indoors, prepare for the weather along with all of your regular gear. 

The final cost per player for the trip is $60.00

Please bring this with you Sunday morning and give it to Sara or Wyatt when you check in for departure.

You will be responsible for the following meals; brunch/lunch on the way to Duluth, dinner Sunday night  and a fast food stop on the way out of town Monday night. The hotel will serve breakfast. There will be a team snack bag, although you should bring your own snacks if you have certain things you want, and please remember your reusable water bottles. 

MLK Tournament in Duluth

The varsity team will be participating in a tournament January 20-21 in Duluth, and we need parent chaperones to travel with the team. The first game will start at 1:00 on Sunday, and the final game will begin at 5:00 on Monday. The team will need to leave by approx 8:30 am Sunday morning in order to allow time for a stop along the way to eat. I'm making reservations for Sunday night at a hotel on Canal Park, and will add any parents who are interested in traveling with us. This is a tournament that we can only attend with parent drivers, in order to keep the cost down for each player. The team will reimburse parents for gas if they request it, and submit receipts.

I'm anticipating a cost per player between $50.00-65.00, and will be able to finalize the amount once I know how many players will be going.

Parents, please email me at semekler@gmail.com if you are able to chaperone. Thank you!

MANDATORY Varsity Workouts

Tomorrow, Tuesday the 8th, Varsity Workouts Resume.

They will be every Tuesday and Thursday after school in the Lindbergh Center.

These Workouts are MANDATORY for every Varsity player and attendance will be taken. If you cannot make it, you  MUST let a captain know prior to the start of the workout.

Anyone who wants to get better and work hard is welcome to come.

These workouts are HARD, come expecting to sweat and challenge yourself. Like I said before, these workouts are MANDATORY for every Varsity player. If you do not show up to workouts, you WILL be dropped from the Varsity Roster.

We start running at 3:00 SHARP.

HUrt Works Harder Than Any Team in the Country. This is Where We Get Better, This is Where We Become the Best Team in the Country. 

Winter Practices starting soon!

A note about winter practices:

We'll be starting with our Sunday WJH practices on 1/13.  Practice will still be in the structure, but we have been asked to enter WJH through the front door instead of the lower door.  Please keep this in mind when communicating with parents about where rides should drop off/pick up.

Since other facilities are still on winter break, please bear with us as we finalize weekday practice spaces and times.  Keep an eye on the blog for more info soon.

I hope you've remained active during your break - lifting and cross training during our off season helps to prevent injury when we go outside.

See you soon!
Erin

Update - facilities has pushed us back one week, so we'll see you on the 13th instead of the 6th.  Sorry about this.

JV Scrimmage Saturday 11/10

Update 11/8
Thanks for the great responses!  The scrimmage will be taking place, but the time has been moved back to 11:30 due to availability.  Please arrive at the fields at 11:00 for warmups.  See you there!

Update 11/7
Currently we only have 6 players attending.  Please spread the word to your fellow Hurtems so we can get enough to play on Saturday!  If we do not have enough by the end of Thursday we will need to cancel the scrimmage.  
In addition, because of the low numbers and our proximity to the fields in St. Louis Park we will NOT be having a carpool.  


Hi Hurtems!

If you are a JV player there is still one more chance to play outside before winter comes!  We have set up a scrimmage with our friends at the St. Louis Park team for this coming Saturday.  This is a great opportunity to play some Ultimate outside before the snow hits.  Here are the details:

• Time: 11:00am Saturday November 10
• Players should arrive at the fields by 10:15am. 
• Location: Fern Hill Park in St. Louis Park
• What to Bring: Bring everything you would bring to a practice or a Spring league game.  Dress for the weather!

Please sign up in the comments if you wish to attend.  Also please indicate if you or your parent can drive to the game.  I look forward to seeing you this weekend!

Hurtems,

This week continues our Varsity Tryouts.  Reminder that this is for 10-12th graders and those who we have already invited to participate.

If you're not sure if you should be coming to these tryouts, please ask a captain or a coach.

Hertets - Please keep an eye on the Facebook group for upcoming plans re: Yoga, practices etc.

JV - If you are not eligible to tryout for Varsity this year, please get out and throw as often as possible before it snows - in all weather conditions.  Practices for players younger than 10th grade will resume in January, so please continue to check the blog for details.

Thanks!
Erin

HBTS notes

Tomorrow (Thursday) is a HBTS only practice, 6-9pm.  HBTS players should make it a priority.  Please also make sure that you've sent in your materials to Sara.

There have been a lot of questions at practice about what to bring and what kind of gear is necessary.  Your captains are really good resources.  There are also past blog posts here about KITS:

http://hurtult.blogspot.com/search/label/KITS

Please pack for all conditions (the nature of Toasty Warm) and keep an eye on the weather for more information.  When in doubt: Layer.

EXIT 69 TOURNAMENT

Upperclassmen may sign up for this coming weekend's tournament with the link below. Please look at the sign up carefully as you must sign up on each day if you're planning on being there for the whole tournament.  The players plan their own carpools, but if parents are planning on attending and driving, you may post the number of players you can accomadate if you are interested in offering a ride to anyone else.

Per our team policy, players are allowed to drive themselves to this tournament because it is just under the 50 mile limit we have set as a boundary. As always, it's then up to parents to decide if they want their player to drive/ride with players, or if they prefer to drive. We always ask that only our oldest players drive when possible, and obviously, they may only transport as many players as they have seatbelts for. The kids usually will all contribute a few dollars to the driver for gas, or buy them lunch...whatever they want to work out :-)
