LPI Results CHA finished 3-3, 5th (of 14 overall). CHB&C played some close games, finishing 5th & 6th in the lower division.
Although B&C won very few games, think of this as a very valuable growing experience. There is no better chance to improve than taking part in a big tournament like this! I love the energy and fight everyone put in, despite missing a few key players and losing some tough games. Everyone worked super hard.

Fall 3000 Throw, throw, throw!
Getting out to throw consistently on your own is really going to make a difference in your game. Some of you had trouble entering it into the spreadsheet from your phone. To enter throws into the spreadsheet from your phone, you need to do it from the free Google Sheets app. You can also enter your throws on the web from a computer. It's ok to write your throws down on a piece of paper and then just enter them into the spreadsheet at the end of the season too. Click here to edit the spreadsheet .
Pickup Ultimate: Optional. Tuesdays, 5pm at Park Village Park
Last week I invited everyone to Southwood Park in Murray where a group plays pickup ultimate each week. But when we went, there were only 4 of us. It seems that game is winding down for the year and is not likely to happen again until next year. So instead, we will be having an optional pickup game Tuesdays at 5pm at Park Village Park. Completely optional, but a great chance to come and hone your ultimate skills, make your team better by making yourself better, and have some fun. No drills or ladders, just ultimate (or goaltimate if we only have a few people). See you there.
Also, you have a couple of days off in October. Let me know if you are interested in joining a lunchtime pickup game on those days.
Remaining Schedule:
10/14 Krakens Mixed HS Tournament. HS Only.
10/?? Middle school game vs Riverton - date and time TBD
10/21 8a 'Hole in 1 - Disc Golf and Donuts' activity. HS/MS. With tournaments every other Saturday in October, on 10/21 we'll take a fun break from the grind of practice and go to Taylorsville Regional Park for 18 holes of disc golf (and donuts!). Meet Park Village Park at 8am to carpool. We will start with a brief (20-30 min) workout and then hit the course. Bring an ultimate disc. This will take the place of our Saturday practice.
10/19-20 Fall Recess. Lunchtime pickup anyone? Since you have a couple of days off school, let me know if you are interested in joining the lunchtime pickup games on these days. Would love to have you come play! Consider pickup on these no-school days as well: 10/13 (MS), 10/27 (HS), 11/3&10 (ES)
10/27-28 UUDA Middle School Fall Tournament
10/28 Halloween Hat Tournament. This is a community event, not a HS event, so the charge for this tournament is not covered by our team fees (but it's usually only $10 for students). A hat tournament is a special ultimate tournament where everyone's name is thrown into a hat, and teams are chosen randomly. Then you will play 5 or 6 games with your team. For the Halloween Hat, you need to wear a costume and play in your costume. Tons of fun, and good practice. Proceeds from the tournament after field costs are paid are used to purchase equipment such as portable fields, shade tents, etc.
11/9 6:30p (after practice) Team carb potluck dinner: fuel up for state tomorrow!
11/10-11 UUDA HS Utah Mixed State Championship. Tournament starts at noon Friday, so plan your classes accordingly.
12/1 Begin 2018 Registration.
Winter: We will continue to get together through the winter twice / week just to play ultimate (even in the snow). This will be unofficial practice but allow you to continue to get better and play.
Registrations: Thank you for taking care of registration & fees. They are slowly but surely being completed. Some of you still have stuff to do. Check this spreadsheet to see what you still have left to do. If you have questions or think the spreadsheet is incorrect, please contact me (coach).
Uniforms: We expect to have them for Saturday's Krakens tournament.
