Today's practice is an extended practice 2-5:30p because of the holiday. We'll see you at PVP at 2!
Practices
Winter pickup is over, and official spring practices have begun! Until Mar 11, practices will be Mo & We 4-6pm and Sa 9am. Starting Mar 11, when Daylight Savings Time begins, practices will be Mo, Tu, Th, Fr 5-7 and Sa 9am.
We will begin with defensive fundamentals, force, cutting, throwing and catching, and over the next couple of weeks move to more advanced topics such as zone D and zonebreaker O, horizontal and vertical stacks, and other fine details of ultimate. See you at practice!
We practice in inclement weather - rain, snow, wind! We only cancel for lightning or super winds that would make it impossible to throw (haven't had a cancel because of the wind yet in the past 6 years).
Tryouts
Congratulations! Everyone who attended tryouts made the team. Thank you to everyone who came to tryouts, especially to players who came more than half of the days (special props to Lydia, Cassie, Maddie, Sydney, Manaye, Spencer M, Bryson, MaKay and Kellen who made it to 4 or more days of tryouts). You make the team better. With that, below are the players who have made the team.

We did not have enough players at tryouts to worry about who made the team. Ideally, our team size should be 20-25 players for the season. At this point none of our teams have that many players from tryouts. You should have also noticed that there are some important players from previous years who have not made the team (yet) because they did not make it to tryouts. We are going to do a tryout makeup day (TBD - I'm trying to find a good weather day), and we are going to need to recruit some more new & former players. Too many of our players from previous seasons did not make it to tryouts. There are 2 ways players can still make the team: 1) attend tryout makeup day or 2) be at *EVERY* practice for 2 weeks straight.
