To all local ultimate players,

This Saturday, Oct. 22, there will be an ultimate clinic for high
school players as well as a demonstration by SLC club players.

The demonstration will begin at 12:30 p.m. at the Copperview
Community Center, which is at 8446 S. Harrison St. (300 West).

From 1 p.m. - 2 p.m. there will be a clinic covering basic
fundamentals of ultimate with league games beginning at 2 p.m. The
clinic is *free* and you do not have to be registered for the league
though you may sign up if you like. Registration for league is $15.

In addition to player development, another goal of this clinic is to
introduce high school players to adults interested in becoming a
high school coach.

As a high school coach, you would be responsible for helping
students organize a team and regular practices. Whether you practice
one a week, twice a week, or 1-hour before pickup or league games,
any time you volunteer will be a huge help with this grassroots
effort to build high school ultimate in the state.

Some short-term goals are to have coaches work with their respective
schools and encourage players to sign up for league in the spring.
At that point, we could possibly coach players as a team during
league games.

Finally, if we are able to develop some high school teams then we
can host a State Championship in the spring, where the winner would
get a bid to compete at the High School Western Championship to be
held in Boulder, Colo. next May.

Please help spread the word to any potential high school players and
coaches.

There is also a new yahoo group that you may sign up to if you're
interested in getting involved:

Please contact me with any questions or ideas that you have to help
build the HS scene.

Thanks everyone!
