Practice Locations and Information

Each team will practice twice a week. There will be no practices during spring break. 

We currently have afternoon reservations at Ballard Playfield Monday - Thursday.  Practices at Ballard will run from roughly 4:15pm - 5:45pm (3:00-4:30 Wednesdays); practices at Wallingford would run from 4:00pm - 5:15pm (2:45pm - 4 Wednesdays). Meridian Playfield is a back up practice location. 

Players practicing at the Ballard Playfields will be required to get themselves to and from practice. There is an easy Metro connection: the #44 runs along 45th St. to within a few minute walk of the Ballard fields. There are a lot of Hamilton MS kids that take this route as their transportation home as well as two teams worth of players that will be on the bus. Your player will be in good company!

Fees

• Here is information on how to pay the Hawks Ultimate Club dues. This is in addition to the fee you pay for your player to DiscNW (a sliding scale fee of $0-60).  The Hawks Club Ultimate dues are used to cover field rentals, team equipment, and coach expenses not covered by DiscNW.   This is different from the fall when many of these items are paid for by SPS.  

• Participation fees are:

  • $100 per player

  • $26 Hawks Ultimate red jersey  (those who needed a jersey would have noted this when you registered)

  • $12 per Hawks disc (optional - funds go to supporting Hawks Ultimate!)

• Fees will be collected after team placements have been made. Thank you!

• Hawks Ultimate Club does not want finances to be a barrier or burden for any player or family. For that reason, 1/2 scholarships and full scholarships are automatically granted. If a player would like a 1/2 scholarship, please pay half the amount and indicate ‘partial scholarship’ in notes in PayPal or with check. If your player would like a full scholarship (no payment), just email hamiltonhawksultimate@gmail.com to let the Treasurer know. Ability to pay is never a consideration for acceptance into our program. 

• Payment can be made via PayPal or check.
