Hello Coaches of TEXAS Youth Ultimate,

FINALLY we have a clinic that will certify coaches in TEXAS. GOOD JOB Cara!
Attempts to certify coaches over the past two years have cancelled due to lack
of interest. It has been years since we hosted a Texas Clinic, and we are in
DESPERATE need of coaches, as our programs devlelop all over the Lone Star
State. We anticipate a 20 team High School tournament this year!

If you are wishing to attend the Level I training in Austin on February 7th, but
unable to afford the registration fee, we are willing to sponsor coaches who are
committed to Texas, Ultimate! As the REGISTRATION DEADLINE for the clinic is
January 26th, we expect an immediate response.

For your information, UPA certification in NOT required to coach in our leagues,
clinics, camps, or the annual LONE STAR State High School Ultimate Tournament.
However, all coaches could benefit from the ethics workshop (due to the nature
of the social traditions of our sport), and are encouraged to earn
certification. UPA certified coaches are required to travel with Texas,
Ultimate! teams to UPA Sanctioned competition on the National level.

=======================================


To apply for a coach training scholarship for the 2009 UPA COACHES WORKSHOP AND
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, please compose an e-mail introducing yourself (name,
age, city), reviewing your playing experience (league, college, present
involvement) and describing your commitment to the development of YOUTH Ultimate
in Texas. We would expect at least a two year commitment (which is the length
of the certification). That application mail should be sent to Barry Wible
(barry_wible@...),
and copied to both Barbara Denison (txultimate@...),
and Bill Marriott (wmarriott@...).

Here is a link to the Ultimate Players Association website for more information

We will inform the recipients of our decision regarding scholarship on Monday
morning, as the deadline for registration is midnight on January 26th.

I apologize for the short notice... APPLY NOW!
