People
We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting signups for the 2009 summer
league, our 14th season. Please go here to fill out your application online
RIPUL 2009 application . However, be aware that your application is not
official until you have mailed me a check for $70 ($20 for captains) made
payable to "RIUPA, INC." or "RIPUL", along with your signed waiver (print the
waiver from the website). Matthew Brier, 2 Dexter Street, Pawtucket, RI 02860.
Games will be held every Monday and Wednesday starting June 1st at 6:00 PM. We
will have a 22 game schedule so you will play every team twice. Playoffs this
season are scheduled for all day on Saturday August 15th, fruit and water
provided, pizza and award ceremonies following the finals.
Some of you might be aware that we will not be using the Wheeler School fields
in Seekonk this season. Thanks to the assistance of Dr. Bill Brown, we were
able to secure alternative fields with the Town of Seekonk. We will have 5
games scheduled at Directions to the Cole St. fields and a 6th game at
Directions to the Pleasant St. fields. For July and August, our 6th game will
be at North Street School off Route 152 in Seekonk also.
It is imperative that we all put our best foot forward and not risk jeoparding
ths fields because if we lose these fields also, we risk losing RIPUL forever.
Accordingly, any use of alcohol, drugs, and/or any other inappropriate behavior
(loitering after dusk, for instance) will be grounds for immediate dismissal
from RIPUL.
Because these fields do not cost as much, I have reduced our rate from $80 to
$70 and for captains from $30 to $20. This fee includes open pickup in May, as
well as polypro wicking shirts that are even nicer than last year's. But that's
not all....Everybody is also going to receive a free RIPUL disc as well!!!
We will once again offer a $10 discount for new women (those who have never
played organized disc before) and those who recruit them. If you are taking the
$10 discount, please note who recruited you on your waiver.
Signups are on a 1st come/1st served basis so if you get me your check early and
often, you will be all set. For those who wait to the last minute, you run the
risk of being shut out. Those men who recruit a new woman but do not sign up
until the last minute will get priority. So, you can be a slacker at no risk so
long as you recruit a new woman. Women, please sign up sooner rather than
later, so we can feel confident that we will have enough women to support 12
teams.
I am still looking for more sets of captains. Beside getting to choose your own
team and be the boss, you also only pay $20 for signup. Please email me
directly if interested.
We are going to have pickup on Monday May 4, 11, 18, and 25 at Directions to the
Cole St. fields. Pickup on wednesday May 6, 13, 20, 27 will be at Directions to
the Pleasant St. fields. The Cole Street fields we will have 2 fields for May 4
and 11 and 3 fields May 18, 25. The Pleasant Street field can only accomodate 1
field.
Lastly, we are again offering free summer league membership to whoever wins the
best t-shirt design. I need submissions no later than May 16th. If you can put
the design in Adobe Illustrator that would be ideal.
We are looking forward to another great season of RIPUL. And, do not forget
that after every game we all converge at The Merrell a few minutes from the
fields for dinner and cocktails. Any ?s, send them my way.
Ready, Set, go Sign Up......
