Avalon Permission Form-Middle School (Bring to Chris or make a copy, fill out, and sent via email)
Please use this Paypal link (note Ultimate Frisbee) to pay the Avalon portion of the payment or bring your labeled payment to the front office.
Avalon incurs costs above and beyond what you have paid to MN Ultimate. Please pay what you can; the suggested fees are $25 for middle school players. No player will be turned away due to their inability to pay. Pay what you can! This fee covers a portion of our practice field rental and the additional amount we pay our coach.
The MN Ultimate Website has lots of season info here:
The regular Practice schedule for middle school students is Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:50 until 5:15.
We meet in the cafe in our ultimate attire and walk to Joy of the People (890 Cromwell Ave) with all of our stuff.

Thank you!
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!

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
Avalon is also seeking applicants for the high school and middle school coach positions for Ultimate Frisbee. If you are interested, please see the details in the job descriptions below. If you know somebody who would be a great fit, please pass the information along!
Email questions and resumes to Chris (chris@avalonschool.org).

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).
Thank you for volunteering your time!
