Junior ultimate - Secondary Schools   Message List

Hi,

Well I've finally gone and done it and now I'm not sure I'm ready for the
aftermath.

At the school that I work out we had a cross-curricular week and I taught
students some ultimate. Now I have 30 overly keen 15 year old begging me to
start a team. I buckled to the pressure and said "yes".

I now I feel a bit out my depth because I have some major concerns. I decided
that I needed some advice and hence joined this group.

Here are my concerns:
1. Insurance at tournaments - how covered are we really? Do tournaments have
good enough cover or do I need to get some school based stuff or even personal?
2. Generally set up of tournaments for minors - am i overly worried by the idea
of students mixing with teams at tournaments where players smoke pot on the
sideline etc? - don't get me wrong I teach at an inner city school they aren't
naive...i just want to know peoples views.
3. Active Junior teams in London - are there many?
4. Any other stress saving advice?

Any advice / comments are welcome.

Cheers

Lewis

PS is it worth seeing if Si Hill would cater for a mini junior tournament at
xeucf? or just a drop in training session and games maybe?
