> Good afternoon and happy December,
> Based on a recent meeting with the board of Ultimate Chicago we are
> actively getting ready for the Spring season. Please get this message
> to everyone that is involved with your respective team. We are growing
> to over thirty teams and I don't want to leave anyone out. We may have
> to cap the league at the first thirty two (32) confirmed teams. Much
> was discussed and hear is the gist of it.
>
>
> 1. Adult contact(s) at each school/team – Required for each
> school/team (parent, teacher, coach, etc). The contact does not
> necessarily need to be at the fields. Each team is required to have an
> adult on the sidelines during all games. There must be an in-building
> rep to make contact with during the week, so s/he can contact/meet with
> kids to discuss weekly issues. Must also have an adult at fields, who
> does not have to be school personnel, can be a parent.
>
> 2. Setting up an early pre-season meeting for all sponsors/coaches and
> captains – Meet with all coordinators/contacts in early to mid Feb
> (weeknight, early evening, tentatively Wednesday, February 13, 2008) to
> go over new requirements, season schedule, Q&A. UC to provide food and
> board presence.
>
> 3. Establishing clear rules for competition/procedure for no shows –
> Establish rules at pre-season meeting.
>
>
> 4. Establishing a season schedule at the beginning of season –
> determined by each team’s availability before the start of the season,
> send out a weekly reminder to all teams of the schedule, adult contact
> required to respond.
>
>
>
>
> 5. More Ultimate Chicago involvement. This can be done in any number of
> ways (a: Juniors clinics/pickup with established players, b: Kickoff
> Hat Tournament, mix players from schools and adults with prize, or c:
> or Team based Tournament for reduced team fees, like last year). There
> is also discussion of multiple adult Open level players sponsoring a un
> coached team.
>
>
>
> 6. Central location for organizer, always present. This means that
> there will be at least one (1) person to be at the fields as a central
> point of contact for all games. Pre-game meetings required every week
> before every round to ensure presence and make any needed schedule
> adjustments. Team adult must represent, captains optional, but nice.
> Last year I ad this role, but will let others help out.
>
>
> 7. Future Development
>
> Discussion of continued growth and field space issues. Using school
> fields for competition, finding more field options around Cook county.
> We may need to use other schools' fields to help out in our growth. I
> was at Mt. Prospect high school (congratulations on having a league of
> your own with 14 teams in the fall) and they have a number of good
> fields that may be available.
>
> Discussion of separate leagues for elite/established programs and
> beginning level teams.
>
> Discussion about IHSA sanctioning if enough schools in Illinois have a
> team. We need 75 (ten percent of all high schools in Illinois) and we
> ave over half of that already.
>
> Discussion of Juniors Fall League. Ideas included first creating a
> prototype spring league then copying for fall or have Juniors fall
> league be a mix with experienced adults, could be school based or mix
> players from different schools.
>
> Carey Goldenberg
> Grateful for cooperation and support.
