Fall Brawl Info 2

As many people have pointed out Friday October 14, 2011 is a 1/2 day at school, we will be leaving from the school at Noon that day. Go home, get some lunch, whatever you need to do but be back at the school by 11:45-50 and ready to roll at Noon.

Packing for the Tournament: This is directed for all our new guys who haven't gone to a tournament before.

1) Please pack light, we have limited space in the passenger vans and occasionally some extra space in a parents car, but we don't have room for you to bring huge bags.
2) Pack according to the weather, www.weather.com, search Princeton, NJ that will give you a good idea of what the weather will be like so you know what to bring.
3) Some of you will be on the floor, usually oldest guys get beds first, so bring a sleeping bag.

General idea of what you need:
White and Purple Jerseys or shirts
Black Shorts
Socks - bring a couple extra pair
Under Armour/Long Sleeves/proper cold or wet weather gear
Cleats
Water Bottles
Something to change into Saturday after games
Something to sleep in
Swim Trunks
Sunscreen
Toiletries
Snacks if you have room

Jerseys

We have started getting players sizes and numbers for jerseys, the signup lists for each team will be at practice, see Chase Snead to fill in your information. For all the people getting the full set of White and Purple jerseys and Shorts the cost is going to be $63 per player. For those who got everything last year and only need new jerseys the cost will be $40. The sooner we get jersey money in the sooner we can get them ordered.

Parent Meeting Recap

Thanks to everyone who attended, great to see a bunch of new folks out to learn about ultimate and the club. We look forward to working with you all this year.

Dues: Fall dues will be $40 which covers the costs associated with tournaments including, entry fees, transportation, hotels. We are asking that the girls pay the same $40 fee for the fall even though at this time we do not have the same number of tournaments for them. We are searching for additional tournaments this fall but if none can be found we will either bring them to an extra tournament in the spring or have them pay reduced dues in the spring.

Jerseys: We will get new price quotes for jerseys as quickly as possible, jerseys will be from Spin and will be the same designs as last year. A rough guess of the price will be $60-65 which will get you shorts, a white jersey, and a purple jersey.

Physicals: While we are a club and not a sport as recognized by the school, we are in reality one of the most physically demanding sports at Woodside. Therefore we request that all players get a physical and turn it in to Coach Chappell. They are available from the school on October 12 immediately following school in the clinic for $20.

USAU Membership: Membership in USAU is required for players to be eligible to play at the State Tournament in the spring. USAU membership runs each calendar year so purchasing the membership now is not necessary as it would expire on Dec. 31. We will get everyone to purchase their USAU membership in the spring.

Tournaments: A list of tournaments can be found on the Calendar page, and shows what tournaments we plan on attending, when and where they are being held, and which teams will be attending. As always Parents are welcome to attend the tournaments, parents will have to provide your own transportation to and from the tournament and lodging if necessary. We always list our hotel information as far in advance as possible so you can stay at the same location as the team.

Support: Your volunteer help will be needed at the tournaments we host, more information will be available on this when we get closer to those events. We can also always use any donation of drinks or snacks for the team as we head to tournaments. If you are ever attending a tournament and have an extra seat in the car it can be very helpful in getting the team where they need to be. Anything you are able to do is greatly appreciated. As always we wouldn't be as successful as we are without the support of all our great ultimate parents.
