Come Play in a Women's Hat Tournament Fundraiser!

Three outstanding Minnesota girls high school players, Emily DePalma (Cretin Derham Hall), Elise Rasmussen (Hopkins) and Erica Baken (Hopkins), were selected to represent the United States on the Junior National team at the World Championships this summer in Vancouver. The opportunity is once in a lifetime, but the expenses are steep.

We want to support the growth of youth ultimate across the country, and especially here in Minnesota, by helping to send Emily, Elise and Erica to Canada to represent our state on the Junior National Team. We have planned a hat tournament, with all proceeds going to this cause.

This is a great chance to support a good cause and enjoy a great day of ultimate!

To register for this tournament, to donate even if you can't make it, or for more information please e-mail Jill Oesterreich Kiener at supportyouthultimate@gmail.com by June 15.

• Co-ed Rec: our biggest league and the granddaddy of them all! Co-ed rec league returns on Tuesdays at the National Sports Center (NSC) in Blaine. Registration is $65 for a season running from May 13 to Aug 12.
• Co-ad Advanced: Thursdays in Blaine. Registration is also $65 and the season runs from May 15 to Aug 14.
• Women's League: Our women's league is returning for its seconds season. We're anticipating the league being bigger and better. Women's league will be playing on Mondays at Northview Junior High in Brooklyn Park. Registration is $40 and the league runs from June 2 to August 11.
• Men's League: our Men's team league will also play on Mondays at Northview Junior High in Brooklyn Park. The season runs from June 2 to August 11. We offer 3 registration options:
  1. Full Team: 9 or more players, $265/team
  2. Partial Team: Do you have a group of guys that want to play together but don't have enough players for a full team? Then register as a partial team and the league organizers will combine partial teams to make a fun, competitive league. Registration fees are $25/person.
  3. Individuals: Sign up as an individual and we'll place you on a team. Registration fees are $25/person

You are encouraged to register early. Spots are allocated on a first come basis and are especially competitive for men. Last year the Thursday league filled for men in 10 days.

Please note that you are considered registered when payment is received. All fees are paid electronically via Paypal. Please note that if you pay with an e-check, you are considered paid when the check clears (usually 4 to 5 business days).

If you have any questions or problems registering, please email our support staff at tcul@mnultimate.org.

My plan for the first year's league is to have an eight team draft league, in the same vein as Tuesday/Thursday Night Summer League. Games will take place at Lake Nokomis on Saturdays from April 5 thru May 10 at 2:30pm. Each team will have 9 men and 6 women.

I envision the league as one that will have a wide variety of skills and ages, somewhat similar to the Thanksgiving Hat Tourney that I've thrown over the past few years. I've heard interest from club players, people with considerable league experience, and the eager newbies who may still be working on perfecting their throws etc. All will be thrilled to get outside for the first few weeks (hopefully not too rainy/snowy?/cold) and just run around. I don't feel like this will be the best outlet for completely new players. It is a six week league, and we won't quite have time for the super basics, but I do envision this as a league where players of all skills can learn from one another and have a great time.

Soon the official Bar of Spring League will be lined up, and with any luck, we'll all head over together much like we go on to Biff's in the summer and Tracy's in the Winter to commiserate and make new friends!

Much like Summer League, we will allow a buddy pair if both players indicate that in their registration.

I'm excited. $30 will get you a league jersey as well as six fun filled weeks of ultimate, stretching those outdoor legs for the first time in awhile likely!

See ya on the field!

We're featuring four leagues again this summer. We'll run the granddaddy of them all, the Tuesday co-rec league from May 13 - August 12. The advanced co-ed league will run Thursdays from May 15 - August 14. Women's league is back with a longer season from June 2 - August 11, and shares Mondays with the Men's Team League, also June 2 - August 11.

Registration opens March 15. Leagues are popular and fill quickly. Men's spots in the Thursday league closed out in just 10 days last year!

Designers: Help keep TCUL beautiful! Please submit your designs for this year's discs and shirts to tcul@mnultimate.org. If we pick your design you get a free disc, bonus shirt, and individual registration for one of the leagues. Deadlines haunt, however, so we need designs by March 10.
