Tidewater Tuneup Update

Tidewater Tuneup is this weekend, we hope everyone is excited, keep your fingers crossed that our weather stays nice.

You can see the schedule using this link: http://scores.usaultimate.org/scores/#youth-open/tournament/11608

Players need to be present at 7:30 to help set up and in JV's case warmup.

As always any parents who can help either or both days it would be greatly appreciated, we will have plenty to be done around the tournament headquarters throughout the day, especially in the evening when we have dinner. Come watch your child play some ultimate and donate a little of your time to support the tournament.

In case you missed it there is construction on the JRB right now, the bridge is 1 direction each way on the weekends right now. Please account for this and give yourself an extra 15 minutes to get to the park.

If any players don't have a ride please say something to Coach Chappell at practice and lets find you a ride, don't miss the tournament because of that.

Please be aware pets are not allowed on the fields, there are trails in the woods around the park where pets are allowed but not on the fields. If you have pets on the field you can be asked to leave.

Girls will be playing 2 scrimmages on Sunday: LC Bird vs Woodside at 10:30, LC Bird vs Durga at 12:00, and Durga vs Woodside at 1:30

Kit Kat Update! IMPORTANT!

We were given first round byes for Kit Kat this weekend in order to allow us to drive up there more easily. Therefore we are changing our departure time. We will be meeting at Woodside at 3:45am and leaving at 4:00am. Everyone please be on time it is very important that we leave when scheduled.

Kit Kat Information

We will be doing Kit Kat as a 1 day trip this year to try and cut the costs a little since we are bringing both Varsity and Girls. This will make for a long day but we will have Sunday to recover.

We will be meeting at Woodside at 2:15am and leaving at 2:30am. It is extremely important that everyone be on time and that we leave on time.

We should arrive at the fields at about 8:30 if we can minimize stops to 1 and don't hit any major traffic. The fields are located at: 4001 Edgely Road, Philadelphia, PA 19131.

We will have 4-5 games for both teams ending around maybe 4pm at which point we will get back on the road and head back to Woodside. Estimated arrival is 11pm, that will include a dinner stop and one other stop along the way if needed.

We do not have a schedule yet but will post it up as soon as it is received, we will also adjust these times if needed to better fit our game schedule.

Everyone make sure you get a field trip permission slip from Coach Chappell and get it signed and turned back in. You will need money for Dinner plus anything you might buy at the tournaments (discs, jerseys). You will also need all the normal ultimate stuff: cleats, socks, shorts, white and dark jersey, water, snacks, rain gear, etc.

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.
