* Being a captain is not about being the best player on the team or having power over other players. As captain, your job is actually to serve the other players so that you can inspire them to make your team the best team possible.
Urgent Need for Parents Help
Because our teams will be in different locations for their games, we are supposed to have an adult 'chaperone' for each of our teams. The chaperone needs to create a (free) USAU account and go through a USAU background check ($20, takes ~10 days, can come out of the team budget if necessary). You don't need to know anything about ultimate. You just need to be able to be present at some games. Thanks to Stan Nielson and David Jensen for continuing to fill this important role. I would like to have at least 2 more parents as chaperones. Please message me (ultimatechills@gmail.com) if you are able to help out. Thanks!
Registration
Thanks to everyone who has completed their registration. I really appreciate those who got it taken care and/or reached out to me with questions. The following players have completed their registration:
Elann, Kellen, Garrett, Tanner, Meagan, Ryan L, Mason, Luca, Caden, Jared, natalie, Lauren, Kate, Kayleen, Anthony. If your name is not on that list, log in to this page: https://play.usaultimate.org/members/pendingactions/ to complete your registration. Contact me if you still have questions.
Time is critical! We need a 10 player roster in USAU for each team by Wednesday. We are nowhere close! Please register today.
Thanks to all who came to support our fundraiser at Pizza Pie Cafe!
This Week's Schedule
First, thanks to everyone who has been coming to practice in spite of the snow and cold. You are a better player for it!
Mo,Tu,We 5:30: Practice. Be there!
All teams have games Thursday and Saturday. The weather looks decent (close to 50) and dry, so I don't think the games would be cancelled for wet field conditions (although it's a possibility)

CH Girls and CH Middle School play at Riverside Park, 739N 1400W, SLC at 4pm. CH Girls take on the Gorillaz; CHMS will play West Krakens MS.

Schedules Posted
I've posted the season schedules for our teams in this spreadsheet. If you scroll down the spreadsheet, you will see a list of all players. As soon as you know you will be available for a game, add a 'y' in the appropriate cell (or 'n' if you know you cannot make it). It's ok to mark a 'y' and then change it to an 'n' later if something comes up, so go ahead and mark it ASAP. If you're still a maybe when you check, a '?' is still better than nothing. It lets everyone know you checked the spreadsheet. Be sure to change that '?' to a y or n as soon as you know. This way we can ensure that each team will have enough players for upcoming games. This is a very important responsibility for each of you, so please bookmark this spreadsheet, check it every week (I will send a reminder), and mark whether or not you will be at the game.
Tryout Results Posted
The above schedules spreadsheet also shows rosters for each team (girls, boys A & B, and MS). Congratulations to everyone. I am concerned about the number of girls, so please invite more girls! High school boys can also still join, it's just more difficult: they would need to come to 4 practices / week for 2 weeks before they would be allowed to see any game time.
We did not fill as many spots on the A Team as expected simply because there have not been enough players at practice. I will not move players to the A Team if they don't come to practice. So currently we have only 14 A Team players. Ideally we would have at least 17-18 players on each roster. But players need to come to practice before I will add more players to the A Team roster. Players who have been coming to practice have already been made aware of these results.
The following players have been named as captains. Congratulations:
