1 day tournament - Sunday, 12-16-12

We will be attending a 1 day tournament this coming Sunday, 12-16-12 in Chesterfield, VA. We apologize for the delay in getting information online, it has been a little slow coming in though. We have had it listed on the calendar for a little while now though.

The tournament will be held at Harry G. Daniel Park, 6600 White Pine Rd., North Chesterfield, VA 23237

Games will last from approximately 9am-4pm, we are expecting to have 3 or 4 games.

We will be bringing all JV players that are able to attend and supplementing with a few Varsity players to make sure we have a solid number. We have a 15 passenger van lined up and would like to have a couple parents to help drive as needed.

We will meet at Woodside at 6:30am and leave at 6:45am that should get us to the fields by 8-8:15am to allow us time to warm up.

Players will need to bring the usual stuff, white and dark jersey/shirt, cleats, other proper attire, water, snacks. They will also need $5-10 for a dinner stop on the way home.

Parents if you could please take a minute to write your child a note along the lines of:

I ... (parents name) understand that my child ... (childs name) will be in the care of Coach Richard Rudnicki on Sunday December 16, 2012 for an Ultimate Frisbee tournament.

Tidewater Tuneup Stats

Stats from this weekends Tidewater Tuneup. Our biggest problem was we averaged almost 1 turnover per point this weekend. We can't give teams that many opportunities and expect to be as competitive as desired. Looking further in our 3 losses we had 60 turnovers in 50 points or 1.2 turnovers per point, in our 4 wins we had 50 turnovers in 64 points or .78 turnovers per point. The better we are at maintaining possession the more chance we have of wining.

TIDEWATER TUNEUP IS POSTPONED! Due to the hurricane, we will not be able to play this weekend. There is just no way we will get more than pool play complete at this point. If we get even half the expected rain the fields would be closed by Sunday. Beyond that playing in rain and 15-30mph winds is just not fun for anyone. We have already rescheduled with the park and will be moving the tournament to December 1-2, 2012. Please take time to talk to your team and let us know if you would like to attend that weekend or would like a refund. Obviously we would like you all the come that weekend and be part of what we know will be a great tournament when it goes off. Hopefully this is enough notice for everyone to cancel any hotels and things that you have in place for this weekend. We will work to get new hotels blocked for that weekend ASAP so those of you that can changes weekend will still be able to get a good hotel deal. Please let us know what you would like to do by emailing, woodsidehs.ultimate@gmail.com

Jersey Devyl Stats

Below are the stats for Jersey Devyl 2012, as you can see that ratio of points played is very skewed toward our returning players at the moment. In order to be successful this year and build for next year we need to see this ratio even out. That can only occur through everyones hard work in practice to get better and take pressure off the returning players.
 
Also notice the high number of turnovers from this tournament, 115 total in 120 points played, basically 1 per point played. Everyone need to continue to improve their throws, catches, and decision making so we can reduce the number of turnovers.

Parent Meeting Recap

Dues: The amount of dues will be as follows, Varsity Guys - $40, JV Guys - $30, Girls - $40. Dues help pay for teams to attend tournaments including travel and lodging, they help support our home tournaments inital startup costs, and pay for our indoor event that we do in December.

Jerseys: We have decided to try and split the cost of uniforms this year, normally we would get a dark and light jersey and shorts all at once some time in early spring, this normally costs $60-70. This year we will be getting a dark jersey in the fall at a cost of $36 and a white jersey and shorts in the spring at a yet to be determined cost. We believe breaking up this cost will help lessen the burden at any one time for paying and allow us to get jerseys ordered quicker. Please fill out the Google Doc in the Jersey post with your name, size, and number immediately and get your payment to Coach Richard or Coach Chappell so we can get the jerseys ordered.

Tournaments: Check the Calendar page to see where we are planning on going this fall, where we are staying, when we plan to leave, and expect to return. As always we would be extremely appreciative of any parents who want to attend a tournament and help ease the transportation needs of the team. We will be bringing a couple of our new players to NJ with us the last weekend in Sept., however any of our new players interested in going to NJ are welcome to attend and get the tournament experience and possibly a chance to play a few points if they have a parent willing to bring them to the tournament.

Volunteers: We will need some volunteer help for our tournaments Oct. 27-28, Nov. 3-4, and Nov. 10-11. Main tasks are tournament administration type things like timing of rounds, collecting scores, selling concessions and tournament gear, etc. We will have undoubtedly have some of our returning players parents there to help any new parents learn the ropes so don't worry about knowing what to do, we would love your help, and to see you out supporting the teams and your kids. There will be plenty of chance to see you child play even while volunteering.

Jerseys!

We are going to be getting some fully sublimated jerseys this year for our darks. We have a great design which you can see below. We will be sticking with one of our classic designs for the whites and shorts which we will order later in the year. The price is $36 and needs to be paid ASAP in order to get the jerseys in time for Tidewater Tuneup. You can give your size and number info in this Google Doc. Number preference for current players will be based on years playing for the team.  
 
We will also be letting any alumni interested order a jersey at the same cost as the team, you must also pay in full prior to the order. Fill out the google doc if you are interested and highlight your row in light yellow.

Extremely successful VA State Tournament this weekend at Nike Park, and it wouldn't have been possible without all the help and support of our parents. We appreciate everything you do to help make our teams a success and allow the coaches to dedicate their focus to the field during the weekend. Finals for Varsity, Semifinals for the girls, and a strong 4-3 record for the JV wouldn't be possible without everything our parents do to help. 



We will be having a year end event in a few weeks and will get up more information as soon as we can.

We are officially out for Southerns on May 19-20, 2012. We have no support from the school to go and the one possible way we had to go (parental excused absences) could put our program on the bad side of the administration and cause us potential problems in the future, which is not something we want to do. It is unfortunate that we will not be able to go to TN, but without this issue distracting us we will be able to focus on our primary goal of winning states. Any players interested in still playing some really high level ultimate that weekend talk to Coach Richard, he will be going to Richmond on the 19th to tryout for VA Squires (club team) and its a great chance to play for everyone who will no longer be going to Southerns.

Arbour Inn and Suites

1-423-893-7979

The rate is $89.99/night plus tax

We have 6 rooms reserved at this time, however we only need 4 rooms for the team. We did this to insure a couple rooms for parents would be available. Any parents looking to reserve a room can call and tell them you would like to change the name on one of our rooms from Rudnicki to you own name and just provide them your credit card info for the reservation. Please make sure there are still 4 rooms remaining if you are going to grab one of our rooms. If someone beats you to the punch and grabs those 2 rooms just tell them you are getting rooms in the block for "USA Ultimate", the block ends on April 20th so you will want to do this sometime this week.

W&M Scrimmage

Varsity will be scrimmaging William & Mary, at W&M on Barksdale Field on Sunday April 22, 2012 at 11am. We will meet at Woodside at 9:30am and carpool over. We would like to take as few vehicles as possible, so if we can get just 4-5 players/parents to drive and fill their cars that would be great. Coach Richard will take 3 folks with him.

Shore Tour Info 2

We will be leaving from the school at 4:30am Saturday. Please be there by 4:15 so we can get loaded up and on the road. It is crucial that we leave on time and make any stops extremely quick so that we can get to the fields with sufficient warmup time. The guys will have 4 games and a placement game at the end, there is also a short break for some lunch. The girls will have 4 games with a bye in the middle and also the short lunch break.

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Shore Tour Info

This Saturday we will be taking a Girls team and a JV+ team (JV + all varsity players who are juniors and a couple other coaches selections) to Shore Tour in Centreville, MD. This is just a 1 day tournament so all you will need is your ultimate attire, cleats, water, snacks, sunscreen, and a few dollars for something to eat on the way back. The address for Queen Anne's County HS where the tournament will be held is 125 Ruthsburg Road, Centreville, MD 21617. An exact schedule is not out as of this moment so we don't have an exact departure time right now, but we should have one to announce at practice Thursday and we will post it up here as soon as possible. If you haven't gotten a field trip permission form from Chappell go see him immediately.

Parent Meeting

We will have a parent meeting on Monday April 30, 2012 at 6pm in Coach Chappells Room. We will be discussing the state tournament on May 12-13. Part of the meeting will be getting parents to sign up for volunteer help in running the tournament. We need parents at this meeting so please make sure you show this to your parents if you haven't already.

Dues

Those of you who have yet to pay your spring dues need to do so, if you don't remember how much look back to our parent meeting recap in February for the details. We are setting a final payment deadline for spring dues of Friday April 27, 2012.

Southerns Info 1

Woodside Guys and Girls have both been extended bids to play at the innaugural HS Southerns on May 19-20, 2012 in Chattanooga, TN.

First and foremost, you need to decide if you are attending, this is the same weekend as prom so you Seniors need to make a decision. You need to make this decision now if you ask 2 weeks prior to the event the answer is no. This is tied to the fact that we need to do our rostering by April 20, 2012, so if you haven't completed your USAU you need to go do it ASAP so you can be put on the roster.

Second, there is a $30 per player fee for the tournament entry fee. As we stated in the parents meeting and here on the blog this fee was not built in to dues because bids were not certain. This fee needs to be in no later than Monday April 23 at the end of practice. Please make any checks out to Richard Rudnicki and give your payment to Coach Richard so that he can send payment to USAU.

Third, there will be an additional as yet determined fee to cover vans, hotels, gas, etc for the tournament. We are looking to keep this as small as possible and are looking at some fundraising options to do prior to the tournament to help offset the costs. We will get an exact amount as quickly as possible.

Fourth, if you haven't played your club dues yet you need to do so. Part of the reason we aren't sure the exact cost is because so many people haven't paid dues yet. Get your dues in ASAP.

We will continue to provide more info as we get closer.

  • Improving the Zone, lets focus on getting the cup tight enough to prevent the throws through the Cup, and the mark keeping the force into the cup and preventing those back/around throws, far side safety shifting to the middle when the disc gets to a sideline.
  • Calling Endzone and transitioning into endzone and running it correctly out of the stoppage on the Double Score.

Exact amounts will be announced at the meeting and posted on the blog, we are still working up an idea of the costs for the spring. We can split dues into a couple payments if needed. If you did not pay your fall dues those are still due.
  • Tournament schedule is on the calendar along with what teams will be attending so please look at the dates and plan ahead. We will need support for our home tournament on March 3-4 to help run the tournament.
