Chaperones Needed
Our team requires multiple adults who have had background checks and safesport training to be at the field anytime the team is gathered. I am asking for a few adults to volunteer their time to be chaperones. Let me know if you are interested. A background check and short training are required. NO ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED!
The first step is to register as a chaperone on the Minneosta Ultimate Website (just like you're a player, but select "chaperone" under "roles" instead of "player").
Thank you for volunteering your time!
Girls Team: All players are welcome to join the Boys/All Gender team. If we get enough female-identifying players (15 or more), Chris will expand our offering and create a girls team that will play against other girls teams. Currently, the Avalon team plays against other teams that are in a similar boat; often JV teams and/or teams with newer programs that often do not yet offer a girls team, so many teams are mixed teams as well. If you would like to work with Chris to expand the ultimate frisbee offering in the future, please email him at Chris@avalonschool.org. Thank you!

New to ultimate?
The first couple of things you should know is that ultimate is "self-officiated." This means a couple of things: 1. Players must understand the rules in order to make proper calls! 2. All players must recognize that every other player is there to have fun, so calling rules fairly (not simply to your own advantage) is what keeps the game fun!

Clothing/Attire:
Most ultimate players will wear cleats. There are ultimate-specific cleats, but those are usually expensive and difficult to find. I personally wear soccer cleats as they are designed for the type of running that occurs in ultimate. Wide receiver football cleats for grass would work as well.
Athletic clothing is also very helpful. Something that allows for movement and is not too baggy (baggy clothing interferes with throwing and catching). You do not have to wear spandex, but large baggy sweatshirts are not recommended.
Here is the cleat request form:

Chaperones Needed
Each team (high school and middle school) requires multiple adults who have had background checks and safesport training at the field anytime the team is gathered. I am asking for a few adults to volunteer their time to be chaperones. Let me know if you are interested. A background check and short training are required. NO ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED! Thank you for volunteering your time! chris@avalonschool.org
