Things are not looking good weather wise, alas.
So stay posted but right now I dont think games will be on.

I wish they were on because I have a lot of discs to give you.
Currently they are taking up space in my room instead of bringing joy to your team.
The sooner we have an "on" weekend that I can attend the sooner you can be throwing this sweet fresh plastic.

In order for that to happen I have to know that you have paid and turned in waivers. 

I got a very smart request from Howie W of JDS to add more info to the contacts page.
If you go to the google doc where your shedule is and look at the tab on the far right you'll see one called "contacts"
Use that to get the info on the captain you are about to play. 
Call them, email them, facebook them, whatever; just get in contact.

Everyone should check the contact page, just to make sure their info is fresh and accurate.
If its not up to date please let me know.

Word to your mother,
Dave

Unless there is some wild unpredictable weather pattern change games should be on this weekend.
Unfortunately I wont be there because of other frisbee commitments (YHB Invite I am hosting, 20 teams for NCarolina to NYC).
For the first round at Silgo (1 - 3) Kris Gill the coach of Montgomery Blair (in Red) knows what's up and is deputized to answer all questions, help get things moving.  For Silgo's 2nd round refer all issues to Howie W of JDS or if he's not there Sean K of Paint Branch.  These are coaches who have been playing for a while and are a great resource.

At MHills there are 4 B teams.  I expect all of them will have some experienced players or adults coaching them.  All 4 schools should have a quick huddle, introduce themselves, get ready to work together.

What might you have to work on?  Review the common rules, expectations.  As the first game of the season its good to touch base, get on the same page. If one team doesn't show up figure out how to divide the teams that are there so that no team is left sitting w/o an opponent. If the biggest team is sufficently large then they should split in 2.  If not they everyone donates a randomly selected couple of players to make a hybrid, fill in the gap team.  As you can imagine this is a big pain in the ass.  If ya'll have done your jobs and lined up your players, located the fields, and maybe even contacted your opposing captain then the whole day should run fine.

Speaking of your jobs I obviously can't be there to collect waivers, but you should have them for all players.  Letting one of your guys play without puts our whole league at risk.  Be a leader and make sure everyone is covered.

Thanks and have fun,
Dave

Hello,
 
I wanted to ask about permits.  I heard from someone who forgot to check the wafc hotline and actually went to Sligo last week that there were lots of soccer players.   Will you be there with permits to make sure we have field space?
 
I am sure you have this thought out Dave, but wanted to make sure we have that covered .
 
Thanks,
Kris

Hey Watkins Mill-

Can't find your individual contact so I hope you get this message. JDS is struggling to field a team right now, so we probably won't be able to get anyone out there tomorrow (3/15).

Sorry-

JDS

If you haven't gotten the word or realized it yourself
all games are cancelled tomorrow.
You can try to reschedule if you want.

the 4 team interested in YHB invite will now all be invited and the seeding will be random.

i will be collecting waivers from you for ALL your players or I will crush your skull with my bare hands AND not let your team play.  THe waiver is attached if you lost your copies from the meeting or did not attend the meeting. Please write you team name in a large clear font on the upper right hand corner so I know what's what.

I paid over 2,000 $ for 400 new discs this week.  they will arrive in early april.  WAFC will reimburse me. you should bring a check to WAFC to pay them.  Its 200$ if you have a single team, 300$ if you have 2 teams.  Include you team name in the subject line so I know whose is whose.

There is a 40% chance we wont be playing Sunday. Call 301.LUV.BMAX the day of the game to hear if they are on.  

 A reccomendation: make contact with the other teams captain via facebook or email.  Make sure they are there, know how many folks to expect, what color will they be wearing, etc..  If you do not yet know who you are playing, if you were not able to acess the spreadsheet let me know ASAP.

Thanks for your work as captains/coaches/organizers, the league couldn't function without you being willing to be a jerk to your friends occasionally, making them do paperwork.  Its not pleasent but its essential.

Looking forward to seeing you there,
DAve

first Hald Schedule set

Posted by: "davelovesbikes@..." davelovesbikes@...   yhbdave

Sun Mar 8, 2009 10:19 am (PDT)

Or at least i think it is.
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pn4RNZWWBoXe4-9ZKY5tqZQ&hl=en
Let me know if anything is wildly unreasonable.
We've got MD teams playing in 2 shifts at Silgo (the Sunday permits got fixed so we could run up to 4 games there all day).
We had a new MD team (Bowie) come in so I gave a couple of teams double headers, check the sched.
The B teams are meeting at Montgomery Hills 3 - 5
And the VA team are going to start at my school but end up at the nicer Lake Fairfax.? I would rather not use my fields, they are pretty sketchy, but its where (I am pretty sure) i can get the permit.

I fully expect that at least 1 round of these weekends will get rained out.
You should call 301.LUV.BMAX everyday before you play to make sure things are on, especially if there is any rain in the area, that day or the day before.

Still even with a rainout or two we should have enough of an established record that after Spring Break we will reshuffle the teams
and have stronger teams play stronger teams, etc.

If I am not providing you with enough ultimate there are 2 more options.
1) Field school in the district has a sweet turf field of their own.?
They have the organization to move to a more normal sports schedule
with games during the week, after school or maybe even Friday night types.?
They are looking for schools who want to set something like this up.
email neilb@fieldschool.org?if you are interested in pursuing this more.

2) Travel to tournaments.?
Philadelphia host a couple of good events during the spring,
Cardinal OHara's mixed tourney April 12th
PADA's HipHop April 18th, Pennsbury's Born2Dive April 25th.
In addition to these there will be our own Event May 2nd and your state championships in Mid May.
Most Ultimate is played in that format, with several games in a day, we encourage you to check it out.

Where do I find out about these, where can you.
UPA my friends, UPA.? It is a great clearing house for information, an organization dedicated to promoting ultimate.
We encourage you to check out their website if not join (all my players are members).

Lemme know if there are any glaring problems with your schedule.
Dave

    So over a week ago I developed a schedule 
    

    


    

    

    
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pn4RNZWWBoXe4-9ZKY5tqZQ
    

    
but dont read too much into it because I  am going to have to change almost all of it.
    
because after scheduling I contacted the people in charge of our parent organization to make sure all the permits were solid.  And it turns out WE DONT HAVE THE PERMIT FOR SILGO.  more specifically we have the permit for only 1 of 2 silgo fields.  The other one we only have before 11am and after 5pm, not so useful.
    

    
But we have other alternatives.  But I dont know anything about them.
    
So I put them here

    
Link: <http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=104717369300308344810.0004642e6f5c8f1177096&t=h&z=11>
    
Silgo and Montgomery Hills are our classics.  What do you know about the new ones?
    
Can you MD team give us some feedback on them, where you would like to play, 
    
what is a good spot? easy to find? acess to some bathrooms nearby?
    
Also are any of them 2 soccer field (ie 4 ultimate fields) locations?  
    
reply ASAP if you know.
    

    
if you are busy stop reading, unecessary background to follow:
    
One of the things I have learned in this job is that it is best to keep the schedule simple.  I would like for you to play at the same field at the same time week after week.  It makes it easier for you to organize your team to show up, which helps the schedule run better, more ultimate, more fun.
    

    
So I would like to be able to assign you MD teams to a field and time and keep you there for the first 4 weeks. with 1 soccer field  i can have 4 teams, which means 3 games at that time, location over 3 weeks.  That means in the 4th week some folks will have to shuffle, which can be a pain.  If we can find a good 2 soccer field spot I can run 8 teams which can easily allow you to keep coming back to the same spot at the same time and always find a new opponent. 
    

    
I will work on this more on Saturday.
    
talk to me,
    
Dave

I just dont know what to do about all these VA teams that haven't gotten back to me.   i would like to get them in but if they dont get me more info then they be OUT like ryan seacrest.  oh wait. 
    

    

    the main info I need to know is when teams can and cant show.  I need to be sure they will be there to put them in the sched.  If your team didn't have a rep at the meeting then a captain should have talked to me about this sort of scheduling info. 
    

    

     If you cant get your team together right now, that's ok. this weather sucks for playing.  if you want to start after Easter we can work with that and maybe give you a discount.  But some teams are fired up to start and I need to get them a sched, so let me know if you are real or not.

I thought I got an email from GDS but I can't find it so that school should contact me again. 
    

    
I haven't heard from a few of last years schools

    1) All of the items on the list are flexible. We want you at the meeting whether or not you have the calendar, the coach or the cash. 
    


    
2) You should pay before the games start.  But we have like a month for that. That way you can raise a team, get them to pay some dues.
    


    
3) I dont get the money.  WAFC doesn't make any profit.  All this money comes back to you.  Mainly it comes back to you in the form of grass and plastic, ie fields and discs.  
    


    
4) If we want other stuff we just need to ask for it. They folks in charge there really want to support us. They have offered to host a party for us, renting out a venue or something.  Come with good ideas of what they can do for us and I'll pass it on.  
    


    
5) For context WAFC charges regular adult teams 300$ per season. And those teams just get games, no stack of discs.  I charge my players 200$ EACH for the spring season.  (that pays for uniforms, bus trips to ohio, etc.).  We used to charge 20$ a season but our vision for our team has grown.  We wanted to do more, be more and that growth has required us to make these commitments.  
    


    
6) It hurts a little bit to put yourself out there, but if this is something important to you, if you love playing ultimate then you should just bit the bullet and get the money.  Do whatever it takes.  Ask you parents, bust open your piggy bank, pimp out your freshmen.

"Spring" Meetings

    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.  
    
11315 Falls Road, Potomac, MD 20854.
    

    
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.
    

    
Dave
    
703.812.8697
    

    
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...

    It was warm on friday, warm enough to be outside throwing, thinking about spring ultimate.
    
Here's what's going on for DC area juniors.
    

    
I have an entire graphics art class working on disc designs for 2009.
    
That project is due Feb 2nd so sometime after that we can have a meeting.
    
At this meeting we can pick the design we want for our spring discs and decide on the details/format for the spring leagues.
    

    
We have more and more teams joining (hurray!) do we want to split into MD and VA divisions (DC schools could chose either).
    
It would mean less driving/transportation hassles but we'd be a little more restricted with our matchups.
    
Maybe we could play in geogaphically distinct leagues in the first third of the season (PreEaster) 
    
and then having established the reatively stronger/weaker teams play them against eachother in the later part of the season (Post Easter).be 
    
These are the sort of things we need to discuss, along with gender ratios, wearing shoes, signing waivers etc.
    

    
Last year some kids had to drive 2 hours to get to my school for the meeting.
    
This year I am proposing that we have 2 geographically based meetings.
    
I have called and sent an email to the ultimate frisbee guy at Mont Co Parks and Rec. asking him for space there for a meeting.
    
When I have that info I will set that meeting and one here in VA.
    

    
These meetings will be 7:30 - 8:45ish sometime in the Feb 3 - 5 or 10 - 12 window.
    
 If you have a colonoscopy or some other major event already schedule in that time window 
    
let me know and I can try to avoid double booking you.
    

    
Lastly, tomorrow night I am going to a volunteer recruitment meeting for frisbee players,
    
its a forum where I can try to drum up some coaches, experienced players that can help your team get to the next level.
    
the big trick is finding coaches who are free in the afternoon when most team practice.
    
The ideal solution is getting a teacher at your school who can help out.
    
If you want a coach and can't find an ultimate playing faculty member shoot me an email
    
 Let me know when and where you practice, how many kids you have out and I'll see if I can find a volunteer for you.
    

    
In closing - look for an email this week that will tell you about a meeting in early Feb at which we will plan the spring season ahead.
    

    
Dave

    Many people play ultimate not on organized teams but in a venue called "pickup"
    
Its a park somewhere that everyone randomly agrees to meet at and play at.
    
Generally people bring light or dark shirts and join whichever team needs folks.
    
The games can last for hours with a constantly rotating line of players.
    

    
Although the warm weather is fading there is still an opportunity for you to keep playing some ultimate in a pickup format like this.
    
At Welsh Park in Rockville at 10 am on Sundays there is a group meeting. 
    
Some other high schoolers will be there and they are welcoming to beginners.
    

    
Especially if you like in MD this could be a great way to keep your game up through the winter.
    

    
If you dont live in MD and you want more info on other pickups in the DC area let me know,
    
Dave

    This is a great opportunity for a team that wants it.
    
YHB can help you with logistics, you can piggyback on our hotel and such.
    
And we can probably help with the tournament cost.
    

    
So if you can get 10 + people together that really want to play ultimate you could have a great weekend.
    

    
Let me know, if a few schools can only generate 4 - 5 kids maybe we could do a WAFC Jr all stars team.

    I have like 20+ kids from my team that want to play this Sunday.
    
So far I have only heard from TJ and Blake and maybe Oakton.
    
I have talked to some folks fron WTW and Blair and Magurder but I have not gotten definate responses there either. 
    

    
We are 1 week from the event.  Now is the time to get definite. 
    

    

    If the event stays small and VA heavy we will do it at HB.  
    
If we get some more interest, especially MD interest 
    
we will shift to the Silgo/ Montgomery Hills fields.
    
As for time I am imagining 2 rounds 11 - 1, 1 - 3.
    

    

    You have until Tuesday to tell me if your school is going to play. 
    
Based on that data I will pick a location Wednesday.
    
And we will see you on the fields on Sunday.

Summer 2009 Club Team?

    A brief introduction of myself: I'm a junior right now and play for
Pitt. I've played for their A team both freshman and sophomore year. I
went to Lake Braddock in high school, which has recently started an
ultimate frisbee club. Nothing terribly formal...just a bunch of kids
playing around, although a few of the kids have wanted to really play
the game how it's meant to be played.

Thinking about this, I had an idea which I'd like to begin next
summer, after my college season and the WAFCJR high school season is
done. Basically, I want to start a club team for high schoolers and
college kids that go to schools like NOVA that don't have a chance to
play college ultimate.

The main goal of this club is to teach everyone how ultimate's played
at the highest level, and to treat this as an introduction into true
club ultimate, and potentially as a stepping stone to try out for
other area club teams like Medicine Men, etc.

While the structure is only in the planning stages, I'd hope for 1-2
practices a week. If there were 2, one would be mainly playing, and
the other would be working on more fundamental drills, such as
throwing with a mark, breaking the mark, 1 on 1 cutting and defending,
etc.

It doesn't have to be anything terribly formal or hardcore. This is
basically an opportunity to develop skills and learn with other kids
around the area, and hopefully go to a few tournaments together.

If this could be sent to teams around the area for interest, that'd be
terrific. If anyone else has ideas and can add to this, that'd also be
great. I noticed there's a NOVA all-star team at sectionals, and
essentially what I want to do here is develop it a step further into
getting some training together.

-David

    Tropical Storm Hannah is causing official "State of Emergency" in VA Saturday.
    
We will let that rain soak in for a while and delay practice till 12.  
    
So now the NoVa practice will be 12 - 4pm.

    If you want to play with the NoVA All Star Team in Sectionals next weekend (Sept 13, 14)
    
you should come to HB Woodlawn this Sunday from 9am to 1pm.
    

    
HB Woodlawn is located at 4100 N Vacation Ln
    
The practice will be on the upper (backstop) field off 23rd St, not the lower field with the soccer goals.
    

    
You should bring water, cleats, a dark shirt, a light shirt and willingness to play hard. 
    
If you have questions (including last minute directions) you call Will Smolinski at 703.473.6920
    

    
This is for the guys, open team.  Girls will be meeting seperately.

    Using FBook and some email I've gotten back some pretty good responses from people amped about playing on an All Star Team.  I think we have enough folks for Open (guys) MD and NoVa teams.  For Girls I think we will have only 1 team for the whole league.
    
    

     
    
Ben Johnson of Magruder has been building a MD open club team.
    
Will Smo of YHB is putting together a NoVa open Team. 
    
I will be organizing the ladies.
    

    
    If you are interested and able to commit to this you should email the appropriate coach. 
    
If you are in DC or have some geographic issues you can just pick the most convenient team.
    

    
The NoVa Open team is going to have practice/tryout on Sept 6 or 7
    
We are going to participate in Club sectionals Sept 13, 14 (open) 20, 21 (women)
    
Maybe have another practice in late Sept (28th)
    
Then play some other "club" team from the other regions of VA. Oct 19th.
    

    
Recognize that this is a UPA event so you will need to be a member of that organization.
    
It cost 20$ to join the UPA and you'll have to do some paperwork but these teams should be a good experience.  Not only will you get to play with other solid, top notch players but you'll get to learn some good drills and other practice ideas.  Also just going to Club events are good because you can watch the best players in the area duke it out.  Its some pretty awesome spectating.
    

    
The deadline for registering is this friday so you need to contact your relevant coach ASAP.
    

    
Dave
