Summer Ultimate

Heres all the info about summer ultimate, some of it for the second time, so everyone will know whats going on.

Summer League
You can learn everything you need to know about Tidewater Summer League here but the quick rundown is games are on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, they are played at Nike Park in Carrollton, VA (where Tidewater Tuneup was held this year), cost is $45 for all USAU members which everyone that went to States is, its mixed so probably 5 guys 2 girls on the field at a time, and it should be decent play. All Woodside players are strongly encouraged to play as a chance to get better over the summer and stay sharp. You should be able to work out some carpool since a lot of Woodside people have said they are playing and there will be some of you on every team.

Woodside Elite
You can get more info for Woodside Elite at the facebook group here this is a team of current and former players as well as Coach Richard and former Coach Christian Lesnett. The team will travel to a couple tournaments and Club Sectionals during the July to Early September timeframe. There will be tryouts (schedule on Facebook), everyone who has intentions of playing on varsity next year should be there. Even if you don't make the Elite team you can still come to practice all year and there may still be 1 or 2 chances for you to play as an alternate or as a B-team. This is the best chance for young guys to get better and is a HUGE first step towards our goal of winning states in 2012.

States Recap Part 2

Yes that increase in USAU Youth Dues is paying for something, as for what, the answer is apparently a lot of pretty sweet wooden frisbees


Woodside Varsity looking good in their stylish Spin Jerseys covered in the blood, sweat, and dirt of one of the most successful weekends in the program history.


JV somehow still standing even after playing more games than any other team at the tournament and stepping up to play in both the placement and JV brackets.


The Girls team with their new friends from Rockbridge, and their mascot, after their most successful state tournament ever.

States Recap Part 1

Varsity - 2nd Place in the Open Division, Beat LC Bird HS in the Semi-finals on Universe point, lost to YHB in the finals. The guys played their butts off all weekend and put together one of their strongest and overall most consistent tournaments in Woodside history. Proud as heck of every one of them and the work they put in all year to get there.

JV - Tied for 7th Place in the Open Division, Played in both the placement bracket and the JV bracket on Sunday and were solid in both. Extremely strong showing from the future of the Woodside program, we have a lot of talented guys to build with.

Girls - 5th Place in the Girls Division, Beat YHB Newbies for the first ever Woodside Girls team win at a VA State Championships, a major accomplishment for the young ladies that no other team had ever managed. Several of the girls mixed in with JV on Sunday to provide some extra bodies and played extremely well against the guys. The Girls have a chance to be some of the best and most successful to ever come through Woodside Ultimate.

Pictures and additional information to come in additional posts. We will also begin posting some information about bringing back Woodside Elite so people have a chance to play this summer. Also check out Tidewater Summer League in a previous post for another chance to play this summer.
