Acceptance into the Ultimate Program

Any student, regardless of experience, is encouraged to try out for Hamilton’s All Gender Ultimate Teams this fall. We try to place as many students as possible on DiscNW league teams but often are limited by the number of coaches and non-male identifying players from the Hamilton community.  Coaches plan to support a practice team this fall for all who aren't placed on teams that compete with other schools AND are interested in learning more about Ultimate.  We also hope that Ultimate tryouts are a fun, learning experience for students even if they are not placed on a league team.

Acceptance Criteria

Ultimate prides itself on its focus on community and "Spirit of the Game".  We will always put our greatest emphasis on sportsmanship, inclusion, community, and a commitment to learning the game and becoming a better player and teammate while adhering to these principles. We will accept players into the program based on their commitment to the sport and their teammates, their citizenship and contribution to the "Spirit of the Game." Games and disc skills will also be a contributing factor in acceptance into the program. We will rank players based on basic disc skills, quickness and speed, field awareness, experience, and knowledge of the game. 

Below is our list of Acceptance Criteria. This list is in our primary order of preference.

Discipline policy

For the most part, we are very lucky to have a crew of dedicated and respectful players, but sometimes middle schoolers will act inappropriately. When those actions are repeatedly causing disruptions that prevent their teammates from participating and improving, coaches have to take action beyond the typical corrections (e.g., pay attention, extra laps).

Hamilton Ultimate follows a two warning policy. Repeated interruptions will be followed by a one-on-one discussion with coaches and the player, where we will explain specifically what the player needs to improve. That is their first warning. If the behavior continues, a discussion between coaches and the player's parents is the second warning. Finally if the behavior persists, the player will be cut from the team. Players will be told about this at their first practice, but we wanted to make sure parents are aware of the policy. It is rare that we get to even the second warning.

PE Waivers

Students who do not enroll in a PE class at Hamilton are required to complete at least 80 hours of organized athletic activity during the school year. The Hamilton Registrar will notify students if they are required to submit a PE Waiver stating their plan for organized athletic activity.  Hawks Ultimate will provide one signed letter for all registered players as a block.
