VU U20 BX Youth Club

Valley Ultimate's 2026 Bx U-20 team welcomes athletes who want to raise their game with an organized summer club ultimate experience. Players of all skill levels are encouraged to register, from those who are already local high-school all-stars hoping to also play with BUDA's YCC team, to those who hope to step up into leadership roles for their high-school teams in future years. We just ask that you be committed to working hard, having fun improving both your physical skills and your game intelligence, and helping build a positive and supportive team culture so this program can thrive for years to come.

Players who register will work closely with coach Kyle Taylor to hone their skills, technique, field vision, and decision-making. The group will work toward developing a fluid and truly collaborative style of team play on both offense and defense, to be showcased at local/regional tournaments in the late summer and early fall.

**Team training and program events for all teams will take place at the Oxbow in Northampton, MA

Eligibility:

** All players must not turn 20 or older during 2026. (This is a high school-level playing option)

** Certain exceptions to the above rules may be granted on a case by case basis. Contact dan kaplan for more information

VU U20 BX YCC ATHLETES

While we will not be sending a VU team to YCC's this summer, our program intends to support the participation of VU/W.Mass Bx Athletes to attend tryouts and compete with the BUDA Open YCC team. We also plan to work with the BUDA Open YCC coaches to:

schedule VU practices at times that don’t conflict with BUDA YCC trainings,
Offer skills-training open to all BUDA YCC athletes at our W. MA field, and
be in open communication with BUDA Open YCC coaches for any strategy/skills training so that we might be able to provide for VU and/or BUDA athletes who compete with BUDAs Open YCC team.

We plan to build the Valley Ultimate Bx Youth Club program in 2026. Be part of this local movement even if you're playing with BUDA too!
