Greetings Maine Youth Ultimate Captains and Organizers!

Important developments:

1) The 2nd Annual Maine Youth Ultimate Invitational (scheduled day plus a
raindate) will be some Sunday in May. Mark Robinson is looking into getting
Greely fields. Rich Young and Alex Pozzy are looking into getting Cumberland
County fairgrounds
as a alternative site. Mark and Rich will be updating folks soon regarding the
date and location based on field availability.

2) The Maine Youth Ultimate Invitational is now UPA sponsored which means all
participants will need to be UPA juniors members at $20 per person. Benefits to
the sponsorship is that the UPA will be providing trophies for the tourney and
SOTG
winners plus State Championship discs are available for $4/disc. Please order
discs if interested from the UPA.
