All,
the GB Junior Open squad have invested in a batch of unique Great Britain discs for sale over the next few weeks before we head out to grab some bling for the country! As I'm sure a lot of you can appreciate, travelling to Worlds is an expensive business, especially so for the Junior squads. The sale of these discs will provide much needed finances for a fantastic cause - many of these players come from underprivileged backgrounds and with your help, we can fulfill a dream that a lot of them have really struggled to make possible so far.
At £10 a disc, you'll be helping 21 kids travel out to experience a once in a lifetime opportunity in one of the hotbeds of world Ultimate.
So, loosen your purse strings and come and find me this weekend at Mixed Tour 1! I'll either be floating around the TD's area, watching Chevron/Cottonopolis Kettle Club/Catch Those, or in the nearest cafe!
They're fantastic looking - adorning the GB logo you'll inevitabely have seen floating around by now and a link to our sponsor Ultimate Outreach, a Merseyside based Ultimate coaching company founded by several ex-Juniors who have been spreading our sport into schools, colleges and youth groups in the Merseyside area for over two years now.
I'll be at Mixed Tour 3 (Birmingham, 12/13 July) as well as Junior Outdoor Nationals (Sutton Coldfield, 21/22 June), don't miss out on this opportunity to not only own a great looking disc but support the development of our future superstars.
