Hi all, sorry for the delay in the post. As many of you have probably heard, Hert girls have been invited to scrimmage against some new Macalester players this Saturday (tomorrow) at 2PM.
What: Scrimmage
Where: Macalester College (1600 Grand Avenue, St. Paul MN, 55105, at the Leonard Center
campus map (The Leonard Center is number 11 on this campus map)
When: 2-3:30, though some girls have work and we can certainly end early
Roster: These are the girls who have confirmed to me they are playing: Mickela, Lilly, Carmen, Jordan, Addie, Winnie, Sam, Noa, Abigail, and Katie. Jenna and I will be there to coach (and play if needed)

The girls are planning on meeting at Lindbergh at 1:15 and carpooling over. (I can make myself available to drive as well, just let me know!)

There is parking off of Snelling Avenue just south of the Leonard Center and the main entrance to the building is on the west side. We'll be playing in a fieldhouse, so it's a standing-room-only type of environment for those of you that will be coming to spectate.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns (I will be in class prior to the scrimmage, but I will respond asap), 651-336-4182

Upcoming Varsity Tournaments

Varsity Hurtems & Parents,

We got enough to go to Chicago Invite, and we were officially invited to Paideia Cup.

We'll talk more about this at Registration, but there are some action items:

1) Since the girls aren't going to Chicago, we can't get a bus.  We'll need to consider whether we have enough parents to drive, or if we need to rent 15 passenger vans.  Parents, if you are willing to drive to Chicago, please contact either Norma Wolk or Sarah Norsted-Cohen (or speak with one of them at Registration).  We'll need to figure out logistics.

2) Players, please discuss with your parents and then SIGN UP for Paideia.  Since this is a flying tournament and airfare fluctuates, we'd like to make travel decisions by March 1st.  That means that we must have 16 boys signed up in the sign up genius by March 1st.

3) Players, please plan ahead.  You'll be coming off spring break and going into a back-to-back tournament situation.  That means you need to be on top of all your life stuff before & during spring break so you don't suffer for attending these tournaments.

Let's go places.
Erin

Upcoming Clinics

Wanna get better at Ultimate?  Some stuff is coming up.

Rise Up is an organization that is partnering with MNYU to provide clinics for both players and coaches.  Registration for their events is here: https://uttc.launchtrack.com/ - Please note that as our sport continues to grow, parents will eventually be in a position to coach 3rd-8th grade teams (kind of like basketball and other varsity sports).  I'm not saying that this is happening anytime soon, but I do want to make sure you know that ANYONE is allowed to attend coaching clinics.  You don't have to be a certified anything to go to those.  So if you're interested in learning more about ultimate, or how to teach throwing etc., consider attending yourself!

The Carleton Ultimate Summer Program (CUSP) is a week-long residential summer experience for rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors held at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. The program focuses on teaching sports psychology, team-building, mental preparedness, and leadership using Ultimate as a vehicle to reinforce these concepts. The Program runs from July 27 to August 2, 2014. Participants will be housed in Carleton residence halls. All meals, activities, and equipment are included in the registration fee. The cost is $675 before April 30, 1014 and $725 after April 30, 2014.  Contact Carleton Summer Ultimate

Registration is also open for quite a few summer ultimate camps:
http://www.nextlevelultimate.com/
http://chicagoultimatetraining.com/
http://www.edgeultimate.com/contact
http://www.ussportscamps.com/ultimate/

Others should have 2014 dates soon:

Superbowl Sunday Practice 2/2

Hurtems,

As I do every year, I'm planning on holding practice on Superbowl Sunday.  This year, the facilities people have asked us to move up our practice to 5-7pm @WJH.

If a few of you want to figure out how to get the game playing in some capacity in the structure, I would be okay with that.

Just wanted to get the word out since this is an unusual Sunday, and an irregular time for practice.

Thanks!
Erin

JV Carpooling

Sorry parents,

We're not sure who is available to drive tomorrow.  With these last minute, a-team-dropped, kind of situations, logistics are...well...imperfect.

JV Junior and Senior Hurtems - please post in the comments if you can drive, and how many people you can take.  Example: Erin can drive, me +3.

Everyone else playing JV tomorrow - if your parent can drive, please post in the comments and indicate how many people you can take.  Example: Erin's mom can drive, me +3.


I will send along assigned carpools for Lindbergh.

Things to remember:
The Waiver - linked in the sidebar
Snacks - this tournament will not be providing food, bring what you need
Warmups - please wear warm clothes, as you may have to park several blocks away
Cleats - this is turf, gentlemen!
A White (not grey) and a Blue/Black (not grey)
A reusable water bottle
$ - Greyduck typically has merchandise

JV PLAYERS PLAYING IN GREY DUCK TOURNEY

JV IS IN!!!!

We found out tonight that a spot opened up for JV at the U of M tournament this weekend. This is a Saturday only tournament and starts at 11 am. There will be a sign up genius for it up sometime tomorrow. More info to come.

The SIGN UP for this event includes both the Varsity and JV information.
All players need to have a completed WAIVER

Driving Policy:
- Whenever possible, parent driven carpools are preferred
- This tourney will follow our policy for State at NSC: Juniors and Seniors may drive*
- Under no circumstances may JV players ride with a Varsity player.
- There is street parking near the facility, there are also a few pay ramps nearby.

*Technically, Sophomores can drive with permission from their parents, and can take passengers if those passengers also have approval from their parents...but we have 2 days to mobilize and that's a lot of approval to get.  If we have enough drivers between parents, seniors, and juniors, then no sophomores should drive.

Need to talk to Coach Finn?
