Having problems with message search?
Folks,
We had a great turnout at this afternoon's organizational meeting ... but we're greedy (i.e., WE WANT EVEN MORE PLAYERS)!!! So, what we've decided to do is extend the registration deadline through this coming Saturday, January 24, 2009.
Following are the breakdown of players that have already registered from each school group (with the anticipated number following in parenthesis):
1. Anderson High School - 4 players registered (potentially there will be up to 12 players).
2. Austin Area Home Schoolers - 12 players registered (potentially there may be 14 - 15 players).
3. LBJ (LASA) High School - 23 players registered (potentially there will be up to 30 players).
4. McCallum High School - 0 players registered (we are hoping that 10 - 20 players may be able to join us).
5. Travis High School - 1 player registered (potentially there will be up to 4 players).
6. Waldorf School - 0 players registered (but there is a roster of 11 players that we're hoping will join us).
Decisions that were made at today's meeting (by participating captains) are as follows:
1. All player names will be thrown into a hat with teams being formed via a draft system.
2. Each team will have a minimum of 12 players on its roster. The number of teams formed will depend on the total number of players participating in the league.
3. All attempts will be made to ensure an equitable split of more skilled through beginner players on each roster. Furthermore, each team will have an equal number of male/female players so that the gender ratio on the field will be the same (regardless of which teams are playing).
4. Games will be played at either Austin High School (1st choice) or Travis High School (2nd choice). We will pin down the location later this week.
5. Teams will meet on Sunday afternoons in February 2009 (as outlined below) for the 4-week league regular season. Warm-up activities will run from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm. The time slot for the 1st game each week will be from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm. The time slot for the 2nd game will be from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm.
6. The tournament date will be Sunday, March 1, 2009 (with more details to follow).
If you would still like to register for the league, please follow the instructions given at the following link: http://www.ultimatespirit.org/gpage1.html
Please mail your registration materials, including the league fee of $30, so that they are received no later than Saturday, January 24, 2009.
League teams will be announced soon after we've received all player registrations.
Most likely that announcement will be made on Sunday, January 25, 2009.
We're looking forward to an exciting league season and hope that you are as well!!! If you have any questions/comments/concerns whatsoever, please don't hesitate to contact me!
Thanks,
Bill Marriott
Texas, Ultimate!

Folks,
We are hosting the 2009 Austin High School Winter League and we'd like to invite you to come out and play!!!
ALL details regarding league play can be found via the following link: http://www.ultimatespirit.org/gpage1.html
If you'd like to register as an individual, you're invited to do so. If you'd like to register as a team, you can do that as well.
The registration deadline is: Thursday, January 15, 2009
Here are some particulars of the upcoming season:
Event: 2009 Austin High School Winter League
Regular Season League Dates: Sunday, February 1, 2009; Sunday, February 8, 2009; Sunday, February 15, 2009; Sunday, February 22, 2009
Time: 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm (for the 4-week league regular season)
Games: each team will play a total of 2 games each week during the league's regular season
Location: tentative location is the Noack Center (located off US Hwy 183 in East Austin)
Tournament Date: Sunday, March 1, 2009
Season Cost: $30 per player (for players wishing to play the entire league season)
Weekly Cost: $10 per player (for players wishing to play on a weekly basis)
Be sure to check out the league guidelines (which are given on the website). The key thing to consider here is that your participation will make (or break) the league!!! For this league to be viable, a minimum of 60 players is needed. So, I'm asking that you do all you can to get the word out ... the more players we have, the better the league experience will be for all!!!
If you have questions on any of this, please contact me or Barbara Denison at: txultimate@...
Thanks,
