Meetings + Ultimate = Fun
Here's the plan:
The first hour of each meeting will be optional.
From 6:30 to 7:30 we will play some indoor ultimate.
Its a quick, fun game that emphacizes cutting and handling over hucking.
Bring a light and dark shirt. We will do that as people gather.
At 7:30 we will stop throwing and have our actual meeting. It should take an hour or so.
At these meetings we will discuss the season ahead:
figure out what times and locations work best, game format, and
we will vote on the disc that we will publish this year. Each team will get several.
What should you bring?
1) A few kids from your team. 3 - 4 is a good number, we dont want the meeting to be too huge. Ideally you should bring a junior or underclassman. It's good to have someone next year know what's up .
2) A 200$ check to WAFC (the Washington Area Frisbee Club). They provide us with our fields, insurance, discs, snacks, etc. They sponsor a summer scholarship to frisbee camps. They would do more for us if we ask them.
3) A school/team calendar. When is Spring Break? When is prom? Finals? Do a lot of your kids take any particular AP exam? Is half your team going on the band trip? Help us shape our season by bringing this kind of data.
4) An adult. Ideally from your school, a coach/sponsor type person. If you dont have a coach I can try to help you get one.
5) An electronic design for the spring disc. A hand drawn sketch won't work. It needs to be electronic so I can email to the company. Here are their specifications: http://discraft.com/art.html. Attached is Landon's offering. We should have many more by the meeting(s).
So when and where are these meeting?
You have 2 to chose from to reduce conflicts/drive times.
Virginia Meeting: Feb 5th at HB Woodlawn.
4100 N Vacation Ln, Arlington VA 22207.
Maryland Meeting: Feb 8th at Potomac Community Center.

For planning purposes let me know:
what school you are, how many folks you'll bring, and which meeting you are coming to.
And anything else I need to know.

ps for the VA meeting I can arrange rides from the Metro to the school.
Let me know if you need that.
Can anyone help us out with metro shuttles in MD?
Its about 4 miles from Twin Brook and Rockville...
