The Boston Ultimate Disc Alliance will be sending teams to all three divisions (Open, Girls, and Mixed) to the Youth Club Championships in Blaine, Minnesota on the weekend of August 8th and 9th, 2009.  This national event brings together some of the best under 19 players in the country and is always a top event for juniors players.

Applications for players interested in trying out for a spot on one of the three BUDA YCC teams (Open, Women's, and Mixed) are now open. All interested players should fill out the form available here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cnhYa0lETXBncVg0YW1SZi11NVNvX0E6MA. 

Players are selected for the teams based on individual skill, ability to be a great teammate, and by diversity of high school programs.  Players are responsible for getting themselves to and from Minneapolis and can expect a player fee in the neighborhood of $200 that covers rental vans, hotel rooms, uniforms, and tournament fees.

The first tryout event will happen on Sunday, June 14th at the Mitre Fields in Burlington, MA where players will have the opportunity to meet the coaches as well as run through a typical practice as a way to show their stuff.  The final teams will be selected shortly thereafter and will practice during the month of July in anticipation of competing in Blaine on August 8th and 9th.

Note: In order to be eligible to participate, all players must:

1. Have participated on a high school team that is or was part of the BUDA Spring High School League during one of the last two seasons (2008 and 2009).
2. Will not have turned 19 years old on June 1st, 2009.
3. Is a UPA member in good standing.
