I know I have tried this a number of times before, but I'm going to try
again. Sorry if you get this twice (or even once by mistake), I haven't
cross referenced who is on the junior ultimate egroup (if you aren't on it
and want to be, send me an email). If you have emailed junior ultimate and
didn't get a reply, then I apologise; please email back and I'll make sure
we do whatever we can to support you in promoting junior ultimate.

It would be really useful to know approximate numbers of juniors playing
Ultimate in the UK. With bids being asked for shortly for 2007 National
Junior Indoors, Outdoors, U17s and Junior Women, we need to know about
potential interest, especially for arranging capacity for halls/fields.

We have around 36 junior teams in the country, hopefully each with at least
one contact on this list. An interactive map at
http://www.ukultimate.com/juniors/info.aspx shows where these teams are, a
little team bio, status (playing in competitions, active, only rumoured to
exist) and a team contact. If you want anything changed about your team, or
you know of any other junior teams, then please email me directly, or feel
free to broadcast to this list. What I really want to know are approximate
numbers and ages of juniors on your teams. I've included my best guess of
each team, so please confirm or correct my details.

Mowers, Birkenhead. Around 10 players, half away at Uni.
Catch Those, Wallasey. 20-30 6th formers and a couple at Uni
Deva, Chester. 10-15 juniors at Chester Catholic High
Knutsford. Not heard from, so deleting unless I hear from Paulo
Ocelots, Malpas, Cheshire. Bishop Heber High School. 40 regulars and another
50 through PE lessons
NC Hammer, York. 10-15 juniors
Nads, Newport, Shropshire. A handful of players?
Arthur Terry School, Sutton Coldfield. 30-40 juniors
Stourbridge. Around 10 players
Disco Inferno, Warwick. Not heard from Rowena recently, so possibly not
playing now.
Tornadoes, Glastonbury. No juniors left since Timmy, Ollie, etc. became 19.
Thundercatch (formerly Hint of Lime), Gosport. Around 30 players? 5 hours of
Ultimate on Curriculum
Airbadgers, Exeter. St Peters High School team. 30 regulars and up to 70
others through PE lessons?
Team Mongosling, Ivybridge. Not sure how many juniors left now most of team
at Uni and too old
Disc Boars, Tonbridge, Kent. No idea
AFC Holbrook, Colchester. No idea
Ashtead. No idea
Wavelength, High Wycombe. No idea
Mighty Hucks, Wilsons, Wallington. No idea
Plan B, Skinners School, Royal Tunbridge Wells. No idea

High Flyers, Eastleigh. No idea
L.U.F.T. (Langton Ultimate Frisbee Team), Simon Langton Boys School,
Canterbury. No idea
St. Edmonds, Canterbury. No idea
6FFU, Farnborough. Around 15 players?
Abingdon, Oxfordshire. No idea
D-Unit, Eirias High, Colwyn Bay. Around 10-15 players?
Thomas Tallis School, Kidbrooke, SE London. No idea
Disciplinae, Leeds Grammar School 6th Form. Around 10 players?
Team Seevic, Benfleet, Essex. No idea
Yoshimi, Portishead, Bristol. No idea
Egham International School. No idea
Torquay Girls Grammar School. Around 15 girls?
Kings School, Chester. About 5 lads
Queens School, Chester. Around 10 girls
Bishops School, Chester. Around 10 players plus 20 girls through PE.

I'm sure there are more teams and some of these to be removed. Please give
me any information you have so that our records are accurate. With around
400 juniors that we know about and at least 15 teams we know very little
about, we really could have more than 500 juniors playing Ultimate. This is
important if we are looking for funding to produce promotional/coaching
materials for schools. The biggest impact on numbers happens when we manage
to get Ultimate on the curriculum, but this has only happened in a handful
of schools/Colleges. With the sport somehow managing to be so inclusive and
the general ethos fitting in so well with Citizenship across the curriculum,
there is growing demand in schools.
