2013-14 Jerseys

We will be getting a complete set of jerseys (white and dark) and shorts this year. They will be coming from Savage Ultimate who is the official Woodside Ultimate sponsor and tournament merchandiser. The cost will be $80 for the set. We have come up with several ways to offset the cost of these new uniforms though.

1. In order to better support our tournaments you can get a $15 credit toward jerseys by a parent or player volunteering at one of our tournaments. Players that attend one of the college tournaments we host and help with setup and running of the tournament or their parents who attend one of the college tournaments or our HS tournament and help with setup and running of the tournament will receive a 1 time $15 credit toward jerseys.

2. We will be keeping an attendance log at practice, players will receive a discount on the jerseys based on their attendance. Players attending 100% of practices (including valid excuses) will receive the largest discount with reduced amounts after that. The attendance scale will go like this:
100% of practices = $40
90% of practices = $35
80% of practices = $30
70% of practices = $25
60% of practices = $15
50% or less of practices = $10

With these 2 offsets players will be able to get jerseys for as low as the cost of printing, $25, with good attendance.

Fall 2013 Dues

Dues this fall will be $60 for Varsity, $50 for Girls, $50 for JV.

This year we will be changing how we collect dues. We will have 3 deadlines with a portion of dues owed by each date. You can pay all at once or you can pay the designated amount by each date, players will only be eligible for tournaments if they are up to date though. The date for payment will be as follows.

• Payment 1 - $20 (all) - Friday, October 4, 2013
• Payment 2 - $20 (V), $15 (J, G) - Friday, November 1, 2013
• Payment 3 - $20 (V), $15 (J, G) - Friday, December 6, 2013

In addition to help reduce costs and better support our tournaments you can get a $10 credit toward dues by a parent or player volunteering at one of our tournaments. Players that attend one of the college tournaments we host and help with setup and running of the tournament or their parents who attend one of the college tournaments or our HS tournament and help with setup and running of the tournament will receive a 1 time $10 credit toward player dues.

Turnover ratio was less than 1 per point which is also good, but we can continue to focus on good decisions and reduce that further.

 

TYUL Camp

TYUL Ultimate Camp is a new camp being held on the UNC campus in Chapel Hill, NC. This is close to home and being hosted by 2 Nationals caliber players, with several other elite players as assistants. Its also sponsored by Nike. There are housing and meals included along with some gear, and tons of Ultimate. It would be a great opportunity to play ultimate and learn new skills during the summer. The camp will run from July 15-19, 2013. You can register and get more details at USSportsCamps.com or call 1-800-NIKE-CAMP (645-3226)

White Jerseys and Shorts

White Jerseys and Shorts information must be complete by Tuesday March 19, 2013!

Please click this link for the Google Spreadsheet and fill in your information for White Jerseys and Shorts. Since we ordered Dark Jerseys in the Fall this will only be for Whites and Shorts, if you didn't get a Dark talk to the coaches there are a few extras for both guys and girls, extra darks will be $36.

The price for whites and shorts will be $25 per item, so if you get just a white jersey or just shorts you will owe $25, if you get both you will owe $50. The sooner you fill out the form and pay the sooner we get these ordered and have them to wear. If you already have the white jersey or the shorts then you don't need to order them again, just fill in your number nothing else.

All varsity and Girls who we expect to go to Southerns need to have matching uniforms as required by USAU for the tournament, players on those teams make sure you have both the Full-Sublimated Dark and a White and Shorts.

We have a few extra full sets of girls jerseys (old style dark and white) and shorts from years past, these can be had for $60. You would still need the Full-Sub Dark.

Woodside Invite Draft Schedule

Drafter Schedule for this weekends Woodside Invite can be found on Score Reporter.

Girls Tourney Info Pt. 1

Expected start time on Saturday is 10am. We need to meet at Woodside at 4:45am and leave at 5:00am, this should afford us time to make a stop along the way and warm up when we get there.

The hotel is Hampton Inn Greensboro East, 903 Knox Rd., Mcleansville, NC 27301, mention Saga Ultimate for the room block.

The fields are Northeast Park - 3421 Northeast Park Drive, Gibsonville, NC 27249.

There is no definite schedule yet, and Saturday may turn into a hat tournament or clinic with games only on Sunday. Keep checking back in case our departure time changes.

All girls need to either have an up to date USAU membership, or complete the 1 time event form (get it from Chappell) and pay the $7 fee. If you plan on playing in upcoming tournaments like YULA Invite, States, and Southerns just go do the membership it will be cheaper for you that way.

Any girls attending just this weekend to and not playing going forward will need to do the 1 time event form and pay $20 to help cover hotel, van, gas, etc. expenses. If you change your mind and keep playing your $20 will be applied to your dues.

Wolfpack Invite Update

We now have a first round bye for Saturday, this means we do not need to leave as early as originally planned. We will now be meeting at 5:45am at Woodside and leaving at 6am, be on time.

Wolfpack Invite Update

We will be leaving for the Wolfpack Invite at 4:45am on Saturday morning, everyone needs to be at Woodside at 4:30am so that we can get on the road at 4:45am so we can get to the fields with time to warm up.

The fields are Method Road Soccer Fields on the NC State Campus, they are on the corner of Method Rd. and Ligon St. I don't have an exact address beyond that, based on the map 800 Method Road should get you really close.

We are staying at the Wingate by Wyndham - State Arena, 6115 Corporate Ridge Rd, 27607. The phone number is 1-919-809-8660.

Schedule should be available on Wednesday so we will have a better idea of return time on Sunday. Early guess would be between 8-9pm.

Players check the weather, its supposed to be cool, chance for some showers on Saturday and breezy on Sunday. Pack accordingly.

Make sure you have all 3 forms needed - 1. NC State Waiver, 2. USAU Medical Authorization, 3. Woodside Permission Slip, if you haven't gotten them yet see Chappell.

Booster/Parent Meeting Recap

• The meeting was called to order at 6pm
• Schedule: We discussed the schedule for the spring, you can see the complete schedule on the Ultimate Calendar. The big question marks right now are 1. will weather hold up to allow the local division of YULA Invite to occur which will allow JV to attend, 2. What date will Shore Tour occur and will they host a girls division again. 3. Who will host this years VA State Tournament - Woodside or LC Bird.
• Dues: We discussed Spring Dues, at this time we are working to overcome the loss of revenue caused by the rain reschedule of our fall college tournament. We also have to plan assuming we will be traveling to States since we do not know otherwise at this time. As such we are expecting to be much shorter on funds than we were last year. We laid out 2 scenarios during the meeting, the first where dues would be higher now ($60-Var/Girls, $50-JV) the second where dues would be lower now ($50-Var/Girls, $40-JV) but we might have to ask for a second fee at the end of the year. With a nearly unanimous vote the higher initial fee was approved. As discussed this does not cover the per player fee charged by USAU for Southerns, that will be dealt with if we receive a bid. If you need to split the payment into installments of $30 a couple times or $20 3 times that is fine and we are happy to work with you just have your child discuss with Coach Chappell or Coach Richard.
• USA Ultimate Dues: As always all players are required to be up to date members of USAU in order to play in VA State and in Varisty's case in order to play in the college tournaments. You can go to the USAU Website and signup/renew, you also need to complete the online waiver at that time. Varsity needs to complete this by Feb. 27, everyone else needs to complete it as soon as possible.
• Jerseys: We will be putting up a Google Spreadsheet shortly with jersey information. You will need to fill in your name, size, number in the document. We will set a date for when this must be completed by and will give an update of the cost as soon as we get the information from Spin. We will be reordering whites, and shorts, we did darks in the fall. If you already have a white with the vertical woodside logo or shorts then you won't need to order unless you want a new one. Please note players at Southerns are required to have matching uniforms!
• Practice/School: In reference to practice we asked everyone to please attend practice as much as possible, we as a team only improve as much as we practice together. We do understand that school comes first and if your child can't attend because they are getting class work in line that is totally understandable. We will be having players run for grades sometime in the coming week.
• Southerns: We have limited details for Southerns right now, just a date and location, we expect to hear on if we are accepted or not sometime in mid-late March. At that time we will have a meeting for the parents/players who will be attending and discuss details further.
• Middle School Ultimate: We have been in contact with the middle schools which feed Woodside, we would like to find a way to get Ultimate into their PE curriculum's. We have had some positive response and hope to arrange for us to bring a few of our Senior players to the middle schools to talk about Ultimate and give a short presentation. Hopefully we will have more details coming soon.
• Player Contact Info: We are asking all players to send Coach Chappell a text with their name so he can rebuild his phone database. Please send him a text at 757-952-7067. Any parents who would like to do the same thing so you can be in touch if needed feel free to do so.
• Meeting adjourned 6:45pm

Spring Season

All, the spring season is upon us, we will be starting spring practice on Monday February 11, 2013. Normal practice time (2:30, be on time), normal practice place (Greenwood Fields).  We will also be having a parents meeting to start the year, discuss dues, etc. You have 2.5 weeks to let your parents know so we expect to see a good turnout.
