Pick-up Ultimate, Saturdays at 11:30AM on Roosevelt Island.  On the grass soccer
field by the tram, which leaves from Second Avenue @ 59 Street.  You can also
get to the Island by subway or bicycle.

Hi Ultimate people,

So now that MUD has started up its first ever Summer Recreational league, we've
found ourselves with a few open spots. So we've reopened registration, but only
for the recreational league (competitive league is full). For those who are just
hearing about the league, we play on Saturday afternoons at Inwood Hill park, in
northern Manhattan. More details on the league, and how to register can be found
here:

http://www.manhattanultimate.com/registration.php

Registration will remain open as long as we have open spots (currently have
about 10-15 spots open), so if you'd really like to join up register soon!

/hubert for MUD League Administration

I've only gotten about 4 responses so far, but I'm hoping that more people will turn out.  Email me if you're planning on coming.  Also, I don't have any cones, so could somebody with cones bring them?

see you at noon,
Eric

Hi all,

We had a good turnout for pickup on Memorial Day (a fun, spirited 6 on 6, at its peak), and since the weather's supposed to be nice this weekend, let's give pickup another go-round.  As in the subject line, it's tentatively scheduled for noon on Saturday at the Dust Bowl (near 97th and 5th). 

Email me at eschultz10@... if you are interested in coming so I can get an idea of numbers, or if you have any questions.  All ages and levels of experience are welcome.  Sunday is also a possibility if there is interest in playing then as well.  Once again, email me (not the nycpul group) if you are interested in coming so I can make sure that we will have numbers.  Tell your friends.

take it easy,
Eric

Sorry for the double-post, took 2 messages before I realized the list was
moderated. Anyways, game is on, starting at noon, come out and enjoy the
weather!

Anyone up for some pickup at the Dustbowl tomorrow? Lets say starting at 11:30,
so that we don't end up going all afternoon. Reply to me privately if you're
coming (late or otherwise) and I'll see if we have enough for a game.

Hello,

I just moved to Williamsburg and I was wondering about ultimate out
here. I've heard that there's Monday night game, Just wondering what
time and when there's anything else happening.

Thanks,
Amanda

NYC Public Ultimate League,

UltimateRec Summer League is now open for registration. We are moving Ultimate
to Saturday afternoons in Long Island City at Queens West Sportsfield in hopes
of an 8-12 team division. Games start June 27th and play every Saturday for 9-10
weeks (depending on our fall schedule).

Here are a few notes about the league:
-Games are 7 on 7 coed with a 5/2 gender ratio
-Long Island City is very easy to get to (first stop on the 7 train)
-We are not a draft league so you can sign up with friends
-All skill levels welcome
-It is a great way for experienced players to get their friends to try ultimate
-We keep statistics and have awards for top players and teams
-We will work with any teams schedule if they need to take a week off for
tournaments
-Soccer is also offered if you would like to play in a soccer league that
doesn't charge $150/player
-Early Bird registration ends May 15th with soccer at $65 and Ultimate at $50.
Don't miss out.

Our website is www.ultimaterec.com.

We are also offering a pickup game tomorrow night if you would like to check out
the field and meet some of the players. You can find this information at
www.meetup.com/ultimaterec. Please join the group so you are up to date on
future announcements. The field is minutes from midtown Manhattan so bring your
gear and give UltimateRec a shot. I will be out there at 6:15 and we will play
until the sun goes down. Come and go as you please.

If you have any questions, please email Cullen at ultimatenewyork@....

Registration for Westchester Summer League is now open! Please visit
the WUDi site to register for WSL 2009, the 27th year of the league.
Please note, registration will close at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 3rd.

http://www.wudi.org/leagues/wsl/registration

WSL 2009 will be made up of three leagues: Coed Draft, Open Draft and
Rec.  For more information about each of the three leagues, please
visit the Summer League section of the WUDi site...

http://www.wudi.org/leagues/wsl/about

As in years past, there will again be a cap on the number of men who
can join Coed Draft League.  Registration for that league is on a
first-come first-server basis, with priority given to returning WSL
members.  Once the cap is reached, no more men will be allowed to
register for Coed Draft League.  Those who do not make it into Coed
Draft can still sign up for Open Draft League or Rec League.

If you are concerned about not getting into the Coed Draft League,
register today!

The Saturday game on Roosevelt Island now starts at 11:30AM.  Beat the heat and
the crowds on a nice grass field.

This coming August, Ultimate will be brought to 100 youth in Nairobi, Kenya for the first time! 

Last November as I travelled throughout Africa (always bringing my disc with me…) I played Ultimate in many countries teaching how to play and of course Spirit of the Game.  The comment that stuck in my mind from one person in Rwanda was:  “imagine if Africans, especially African leaders, could learn to call their own fouls and accept the call.”

World Youth Alliance Africa (my organisation...) is hosting a conference in Nairobi, Kenya from Tuesday 4^th to Saturday 8^th August 2009 on the theme ‘Peace: Our Responsibility for Integral Development’. As part of the conference an Ultimate Workshop will be offered.

What better way to promote peace than through Ultimate and Spirit of the Game? Youth from throughout Kenya and Africa will learn about promoting the dignity of every person as the basis for peace, and hence development. They will also take home with them Ultimate and, through playing, make Spirit of the Game part of their local culture and mindset.

The Decade of Dignity and Development, WYA 1999-2009 is a celebration of ten years promoting the dignity of the person in development. The DDD celebrations are intended to unite young people, leaders in the public sector and best practices around the world to give them a global center stage.

I need your help! I am looking to bring 100 discs with me to our Africa Region. They don’t need to be new.  If anyone wishes to donate $, it will go towards the cost of providing jerseys for participants in the workshop.  Tax deductible receipts can be offered for $ donations, but not for discs.

Discs can be brought to Henlopen if you are attending, I’ll be there and happy to collect any you wish to donate!

"The integrity of Ultimate depends on each player's responsibility to uphold the Spirit of the Game, and this responsibility should remain paramount."

“Ultimate relies upon a spirit of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the player. Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of mutual respect among competitors, adherence to the agreed upon rules, or the basic joy of play.”

Thank you!

Mary

ps. Please forward this to other listserves

Is there a game this Saturday the 18th?

Good news! Though we are already 2 weeks into registration, there are
still slots available in all three of the WSL 2009 leagues. But the
bad news is that won't last forever. The WSL 2009 registration
deadline is 11:59 p.m. on May 3rd and slots are dwindling, so visit
WUDI.ORG now and take care of your WSL 2009 registration. It only
takes a few minutes to finalize your summer plans for ultimate.
